It was the month of May 2025
What better way to get back into the swing of things than with a well-worn topic: the monthly review! WordPress has changed a lot since 2021 — so much that I feel like I have to relearn everything from scratch. I’m trying to get everything back in order, but there’s still a lot of work…

It was July ’15
What a great month it was ! I have finally came around to translating my blog from French to English. I started writing Sur un Boeing Bleu de Mer in 2009, roughly a year after I left Montreal to live in Paris. My goal is to publish my new articles in French and English at…
