I’m sure some of you have heard me piss and moan about my kids. In fact, they are two amazing boys, whose adaptation to being thrust alone into the French public school system has been absolutely remarkable. For example, the first day of school, my youngest son Andrew, who is 13 years old, had to go off on his own to his school, which is located quite a good distance […]

So eat your heart out other dog owners — voici le plus bon chien Elsie: You won’t want to watch the whole […]
