Happy Bastille Day!

€uroMeinke · 07-14-2005, 08:45 AM

216 years ago today was the storming of the Bastille marking the beginning of the French Revolution.

I think I may have to let the diet slip further south and visit our local crêpery to celebrate.

So what will you do today to mark the occasion?

Sip some Champagne?
Watch the Tour?
Guillotine your oppressors?
Eat some cake?

NPR had a wonderful story on "Pain Couture" this morning, perhaps that's a start

I'm going to try to convince my city to line the street with tanks like they do in Paris.

Bastille Day is my Mother-In-Law's birthday - so we're all going out to a chocolate feast at Ghirardelli Chocolaterie & Cafe. Like Pierre Boulez said, "Revolutions are celebrated when they are no longer dangerous." Vive le chocolat!

I say we celebrate by encouraging all peoples of the world who are oppressed by monarchs and/or dictators to revolt and overthrow their oppressors!

Today, I will watch the Tour de France!
