Un new baby is born : Inside Pageant
Finally, a project that is coming to an end. The magazine I imagined during the writing of the encyclopedia was finally born… After a few technical tricks and lots of sweats, it will appear for the first time next Sunday… It is with some pride that I introduce you to this new baby. I took the title of editor-in-chief. I’m not at a cap near anymore! My retirement is filling more and more. I will resume the trips as soon as possible to go see my friends directors and attend a lot of contests. I’ll finally be able to blow this weekend. I’m going to take some time to write…

So, let’s lift the veil… Rather Be is my first novel. You should know that I never had the pretension of becoming an author. I write for my pleasure and this blog was originally created to keep my friends informed during my many trips and avoid repetitive emails. Certainly, some publishers have used my pen for a few professional books, but writing in an area of expertise has nothing to do with writing a novel.…

Friendship Stronger than Love
Everyone has their own definition of friendship, as well as the importance it gives to it. Some of my friends would say that in this area, I can be excessive, invasive… as always. It’s part of my charm! The different vagaries of life have shown me that friends (the true, the sincere) remain by your side, even when you are in the wall or at the bottom of the abyss. They show themselves honestly on every occasion, even if they say to you when you derail completely. They don’t hesitate to pull your shoulder straps up to help you overcome your difficulties or wait patiently until your blood stroke or…
