    Posted on Saturday November 28th, 2009 at 17:09 in media, random, francofiles

    There's always a first time for everything.  Today I wrote to Dear Abby.  No, no, no.  I didn't ask her how to solve any of my dilemmas (what? me worry?) but to commend her for a spot-on response to a college student's quandary.De...
