Well it appears that the Democrat Party chose Obama to run against McCain for the presidential election in November.Will all the white "Democrats" in southern states vote for a black man? Knowing the reality of the south of the USA when it comes to races, was this a winning move? Not so sure...

So this is it, yesterday we got a phone call from our landlord informing us that he was moving in on the first of July, and so he was expecting us to be out by June 30th. So these two last months of school before summer will somehow be stressful for us and the kids. Not a lot of house are for rent, if none... Once again, our landlord showed no signs of remorse. And while I cannot criticize the

Finally winter is over. The weather has been very nice, and with the business turning good the year started really great. We even planned our summer vacation... This year will be Cape Cod.Another family project is to make a little vegetable garden. We have the best spot. Asked our landlord if it was ok with him...

Last week, the last World War 1 French Veteran died, and while this may have not made the news anywhere else around the world, I still feel this is something important. We just lost the last witness of one of the most atrocious war... for some reason, it reminded me of a video that was playing last remembrance day here in Canada and that I found moving.Lazare Ponticelli has died. The last living

For the ones not leaving in America, I am not sure if you have the chance to watch this... but this is definitely a great show. It is so candid... for some reason it reminds me of Tim Burton's Universe with a hint of Wonderfalls...
