Gavroche



Gavroche is a character from the novel, Les Miserables, by Victor Hugo. (Made into a musical by Boubil & Schonberg) Today the word, "Gavroche", in French means approximately "mischievous child". However, this word did not exist prior to Hugo's novel.

I am American, and my knowledge of French doesn't extend much beyond "Merci, Moi, and French Toast." However, despite having to read everything in translation, I am obsessed with Hugo in particular, and French literature in general. You can find out even more about these subjects, and a little about me at my personal webpage. You can email me as well.

I guess I should be outside lighting firecrackers. Just in case the current administration is checking to see who lights them and who doesn't.

It's been awhile since I've been here...got distracted by the events (local, national, world, personal) around me. I hope to return here enough this year to finish a few guide entries I've started, and a few more I have in mind.

224 Years ago today, we (America) thumbed our collective noses at the Brits and said "To heck with ya!" Or something like that. At least, so I have been told...I wasn't there.

At least it's a good enough excuse to light bottle rockets and barbecue.

Some of my ancestors were loyalists. Which means while they lived in America...they thought all the problems their neighbors wanted to go to war over, could be solved by working within the British system. Kind of like teachers today tell students that any problem we might see with the American System can be changed from within the system. At times I think, if my ancestors were wrong, then we need to revolt today. If my ancestors were right...

It's been a few months...I fell into a black hole, but have managed to circumnavigate and find my way out. (Don't ask, I'd have to come up with some technobabble, and I don't write for a SF television show so it doesn't come naturally)

I have begun to write an entry on Montaigne, Feel free to comment on it, even while it's in its work-in-progress stage.
