I worshiped in that very tradition last night, sharing a carafe of sangria with a friend at a local cafe. As for the Merovingian thang, one should consider the source when pondering its possible veracity. It's a French legend. Outside of Notre Dame there is a stone that is known as "Point Zero." It was the point from which all distances in the known universe was measured; everything in Europe or the universe was XXX units of measure away from Point Zero. The Merovingian myth is IMO the same thing, a quest for self importance, a desire to be at the center of the universe. :-) Unc To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
