Thanks for the birthday happies! And HBD to Theo and Rayne, too!

I saw Fun Home (a dead dad story) literally three days after my father died, and was I ever relieved that the point of that show was that the dad sucked.
Re: vacations
Does anyone have hotel recs for Paris? Safe, inexpensive, close to metro would be ideal.

Yeah, sometimes when you don’t expect it at all.
Laura, I know COVID isn’t restful. Being sick never really is. At any rate… I have the flu. Came home early from work, fever now 101.1. Most of the classic symptoms. I just got my flu shot a week ago Friday, here’s hoping it helps at least a little.
msbelle, I stayed at the Hôtel Saint-Marc – 36 Rue Saint-Marc, 75002 Paris -- in late October of 2017, so pre-pandemic. It's a pretty short walk from Opéra station -- 600m or so along Boulevard des Italiens.
Sending happy birthday wishes to Amyparker today! I do hope that it is a day filled with treats and that the year to come is joyful.
Another cause for celebration, a negative Covid test this morning. I still have a cough and my belly is fragile, but still happy to see this.
Good news Laura! Hopefully you, Tep, smonster and everyone else feeling poorly are on the mend and recovering quickly.
