| The Eiffel Tower |
This is the view out of the window of the apartment in Paris
where I was staying with some dear friends (both BU alums from the School of
Theatre) who happened to be celebrating their wedding anniversary. It
was…uh…okay. And even better (should that be possible) was meeting their
friend Robert Hoehn, also a BU alum from the School of Theatre, who is living
and working in that beautiful city, taking care of his son, acting, writing,
doing voiceovers, and producing the hilarious, provocative French Fried
TV. Rob is, by his own definition, an ex-pat, and he has embraced the French
mode of transportation. When I lost my passport – Yes, I lost my passport in a
taxicab outside the Palais Garnier (see the picture) through nobody’s fault but
my own – he offered to pick me up at the American Embassy on his motorcycle.
At the thought of riding the streets of Paris on a motorcycle comme un 1970s film Francais (Diva came
to mind), I decided to walk.

However, we’ll always have Paris because I can find him on YouTube
whenever I want (and so can you) on French Fried TV through Frog Berger Entertainment
(see the link below). If you speak a little French (and even if you
don’t), you’ll get a huge kick out of Rob’s point of view. I’m
particularly fond of the one entitled “Vote Expat Vote!” No matter what your
political leaning, the message is clear – VOTE! Now, if only I could talk
him into writing a play…
