...city's bouchons, simple bistros named after the straw plugs once used as bottle-stoppers. For a taste of the local gastronomic specialty of cervelles de canut (literally, silk-worker's brains) - fresh white cheese mixed with crème fraîche and herbs - try Garet, Chez Hugon or Le Musée, where the three Laverrière sisters maintain a 40-year family tradition. There's updated fare at the Boeuf d'Argent, Fleur de Sel and Paul Bocuse's three brasseries, Le Nord, L'Est and Le Sud. Splurge for haute cuisine at La Tour Rose...

As the movers drove off with our belongings, I vowed--as I had back in 1967--to come back someday...

But being chez nous on Saturday nights has it compensations, like being able to watch the "Grand Ole Opry" on TNN. And last Saturday, following the Opry, it provided a special treat in the form of a repeat episode of "The George Jones Show," the Possum's attempt at being a talk-show host, which had a short life...
