Can I lie to my child?
At the age of twelve, Severn Cullis-Suzuki shocked partakers at the Earth Summit in Brazil in 1992. This video just came to my attention recently, even though it’s been online for over a year or so. (You can read the transcript here.)
Bob Marley’s emblematic “No woman, no cry” comes to mind, especially at the end [...]
‘The Nutcracker’ is back at BPAC
The Sierra Vista Herald has published my article on the Sierra Vista Ballet and it’s seasonal classic, “The Nutcracker.”
Read it here.
Nocturnal visitor
 Several weeks ago, a mysterious tapping on our balcony glass door in the middle of the night disrupted the otherwise silence of this suburban, rather rural, location. Upon revision, it happened to be a huge hornet. The behavior was most unusual. Not only did it come at night, but always tried to get in through [...]
. . . . Ciao, pluvian troat
The king is dead. No, not that king, this one.
Luciano’s fight is over. Never again shall his voice fill our ears and hearts. He has become a legend and shall be heard in the booming of thunder, in the peaceful flowing of a river, in the troat of a pluvian.
Considering that sixty is the new [...]
To become part of history
I was taught that history was constantly in the making and that each one of us was part of it. Sometimes I wish one day someone, generations ahead, would remember me. Perhaps having a child is part of this process. Gone are my childhood dreams of being a scientist, anthropologist or historian. I view legacy [...]
Bovine raises havoc
A seldom seen scene on the streets of a German State Capital mobilized some 30 policemen and firefighters just a few days after the Fair was over.

Augusto Pinochet is dead. Unlike many who suffered under his iron fist for decades, he died peacefully in the company of his loved ones.
Despite a turmoil not unlike what Chileans are experiencing right now, I have come to the conclusion that even evil deserves acquittal, as long as there is repentance. But that’s probably my [...]
Carlos’ Realm’s Birthday
 It’s been another year since I started rambling on this spot.
The layout has changed since 2004. The design had been in place since 2001.
The green design was implemented around this time last year. Today, I introduce the current design, based loosely on the previous one, but mainly, a migration to WordPress. I got tired of [...]
Rafael and Diana visiting
 My brother and his wife dropped by from Holland to visit and meet my son Martin for a couple of days.
Since 2002, I have seen my brother twice, once for my wedding in 2005 and now. I guess not being around your loved ones can be a part of growing up. I miss him often.
Happy Birthday, Rafa
 Here he is, helping me out with things for the baby’s room…
