livi..it can suck!
btw, livi..i've spent a lot of time in the south of france, juan les pins in particular. i was a cultural exchange student back in the mid-80's with a family in reims, france. they had a flat in juan les pins. their son and i who was our age spent two summers together traveling all over france, staying mostly in juan les pins, but going to cannes and nice in the evenings for extracurricular female activities.
actually..life didn't suck then! and actually, i need to send you an e-mail to catch up..things have been better lately..along those same lines..
