My unsolicited advice is 500mg of magnesium and 5000 iu of vitamin d everyday! Has made a noticeable and drastic difference in how often I get sick, and I’m around germy toddlers every day.

I will take all the unsolicited advice at this point!!! Will try those! I probably need the vitamin D anyway since the sun uhh never comes out here.

So sorry you were bothered by that nasty cold on your 30th bday celebration trip in France! Hope its all better by now. I admire your sense of adventure, and your French language skills! Years (and Years..)ago, I had a terrible bronchitis on a ski trip in Switzerland..having that embarrassing & debilitating cough in the most idyllic place I'd ever been made it all the worse.

Hi Christine,

Town notes or heard anything in a long time..did I fall off the mailing for it? Hope all is well.

Thanks for checking in, Becky! I've been taking a break from writing this newsletter because I've been super busy with work (a blessing/curse)! I hope all is well :)

Marseille could outshine New York in my esteem, certainly the weather is better. Your description of bouillabaisse is not specific to transplanted okies. I'd say you nailed it perfectly. Judging from your photos, I'd say you only missed the pyrotechnics at a home game at the Velodrome. I bet you at navettes in you apartment, the little biscuit like cookies sold everywhere in Marseille. A toute a l'heure.
