This postcard is one of the most fascinating I have of World War One. It’s fascinating on many levels. First, it may seem surprising to see such an image on a postcard, but what I’ve learned with this collection of postcards, it is that a century ago, they […]

Ah! Cochran, Cochran, Cochcan… John Cochran ranks among the most disappointing players to ever play the game to me. Before his season started, I already imagined the new Rob Cesternino in Cochran. Such a smart young man, such a big fan of the show. He was going to blow us […]
A lot of people are surprised, even unhappy that Francesca Hogi is returning to play Survivor. After all, she was a first boot, how can she be a “Favorite”? How does she get to play again, when more “deserving” players don’t get that chance? Well, disagree with all […]

Not my best sunset picture, far from it, but a quite meaningful one though. It was one of my last road trips (and my last sunset) before leaving France in the Fall of 2011. The picture was taken, somewhere near Rocamadour in the Lot (near the hamlet of […]
I’m really excited for Brenda Lowe‘s return. She definitely was my favorite player in Nicaragua, and one of the few people who knew what they were doing that season. I’m still a bit disappointed in the fact that she didn’t really scramble when she knew that she was on […]
