Bastille Day
A Happy Bastille Day to our collegues in Paris. If you want to join in the celebration locally, the annual Les Halles Waiter race is at 2 p.m. at 1201 Pennsylvania Ave. It may not be too late to sign up for the Children’s race at 11:30 a.m. or the Customer’ race at 1 p.m. Here is the sign-up form. (PDF) If you are unable to join in, you can always debate the proper pronunciation of Les Halles.
The H and both S’s are silent. “LAY ALL” is the easiest way to explain it.
