The other night Johan had a concert at the Tribunal de Commerce (Business court?), and I offered to be page turner (anything to avoid my own orchestra rehearsal ...). The building must have been really, really old, and it was beautiful. Crazy two-sided, spiraling, fancy staircases, and hallways like this one.

The actual courtroom had an enormous Renaissance tapestry hanging behind where the judge would be sitting (go ahead law student friends, correct my terminology. I'll smack you). Also, fancy, important looking paintings hanging up on the walls. Hope I'm never going to be in there for an actual procedure ...
On my way out of babysitting the other day, I heard something metal jingling on the ground as I went out the monstrously heavy door. When I looked to see what it was, I found this. 'Good luck M.'
I choose to take this as a portent of good-will from the universe (fingers crossed). In actuality, I probably just broke some little girl's heart because she can't find the charm she lost (terrible person).
