This is what you do on your very first day in Paris. You get yourself, not a drizzle, but some honest-to-goodness rain, and you find yourself someone really nice and drive her through the Bois de Boulogne in a taxi. The rain's very important.

It's going to sound like a great idea, and you're going to get excited about it, and then when it comes time to do the work, you're not going to want to do it.
