Delusional Sightings!

Several weeks ago I discovered some very interesting expat blogs through reading Jason Stone's interesting and enjoyable NYCaParis. Jason's entries were of special interest to me since I am counting the days until I can make the move that he made last July to Paris. As a result of reading Jason's blog, I also began following the day-to-day adventures of La Coquette, and Petite Anglaise which I have thoroughly enjoyed reading.

Perhaps it's the isolation I have been experiencing for the last few days living alone in an 8 story tower in Georgetown where all the in habitants have fled the city for joy and celebration with family, friends, sun or snow or some combination thereof. But when I read La Coquette's entry Joyeux Noël de la Floride today and saw the related picture where others commented "Ah, palm trees and Christmas lights" and "Santa-on-a-surfboard lawn ornaments." I saw 3 huge phallic symbols albeit very attractively decorated but still 3 huge phallic symbols.

Please don't hate me Coquette. These are probably just the delusional sightings from a man deprived of his regular holiday Paris fix and the only holiday lights I have seen this season were on the Georgetown Chrismas tree that was blown down and destroyed by 45 mph winds in early December.
