Travel Alert: Beware the Obama Hug PDF Print E-mail
Mon Mar 30, 2009

This is an unofficial warning to all potential American travelers to metropolitan France of a new ruse used by continental pickpockets in their pursuit of fat, traveling American wallets: a false display of enthusiasm for the new American president followed by a phony congratulatory hug. Followed by the real disappearance of said wallet.

Miss France: Franco-American like us! PDF Print E-mail
Thu Apr 16, 2009

In March, I interviewed the Franco-American Miss France – the first Miss France with dual nationality – for expat monthly The Connexion. My contract stipulates that I can't reprint the original here but I invite you to check it out on The Connexion's site.

I think my original read better…they chopped it up a bit for space. That's why the Web is either a superior medium or the final frontier of the intellectually self-indulgent, take your pick.

Postscript on this story: I didn't get to include as much of my interview with Brenda Mortaud, Chloé Mortaud's mother, as I would have liked…again, with the space problem.
