Stereophonics rock 9:30 Club to crowd’s delight

Wales’ most famous rock band, the Stereophonics, wound down its American tour promoting its third album, Just Enough Education to Perform, (or J.E.E.P.) at the 9:30 Club on Saturday night.

Women behind the lens

Until Today

Until today, I took for granted the ability to translate my thoughts into coherent verbal expressions. Then I arrived in Paris. Suddenly I am mute. Words catch in my mouth like overcooked oatmeal. Well-meaning, but perpetually exasperated French people cannot understand that I live at 4 rue Alfred Bruneau.
