   […] Como apenas duermo ni como desde que trabajo en FON, decidí pasarme el fin de semana con mi familia mallorquina. Es que en Mallorca con Manolo y su familia como y duermo mejor que en cualquier otro sitio del mundo (menos que en mi propia casa con mi familia genética). De hecho, siempre que me urge la necesidad de estar con “familia” o viajo a Mallorca o quedo en Madrid con Fernando y Amparo (los abuelos de mi ahijada). […]

   […] Every now and then, I think about that phone call from one year ago. I think that life is so fragile, that all it takes is a phone call. One phone call and you are either here with me living in life or here with me living in death. Or better yet, maybe it is a phone call like the one I had received last year on May 3rd telling me that you are now here, born amongst the living. Dedicated to Charles R.

4. Grave Error » Saturday with the Kids Says:

   […] I spent all of Saturday with my friends Kevin and Rocío, Santi and Clara, and with their lovey children Marina and Javier. Marina and Javier were both born in May 2005, and now that they are almost 18 months old they are getting more and more fun to play with. I finally got Javier to start kicking a ball with his feet. Santi was a bit concerned that Javier was always using his hands. Example is the best teacher. So with more actions than words, we showed Javier how to kick the ball. I will never pressure my children to become professional athletes and to retire their father. But, Javier is Santi’s son, so there is no problem with me pressuring his son to fulfill my frustrated professional aspirations and to add to my retirement plan. Meanwhile, Marina is becoming an expert in kissing and in reading. Hmm? You think that I am negatively promoting gender roles with my friends’ children? I would think so, but it is incredibly amazing to see how these two children interact with the world in incredibly different and natural ways: one as a boy and the other as a girl. […]
