It’s the morning of my 35th birthday, and while I’m getting ready for our second childbirth class, I realize that for the first time ever, today I’m not thinking that today, 35 years ago, I was born.

La sonrisa que ahora adorna el encabezado de esta pagina es de un viejo amigo del cual no se nada en casi 10 años. Nos conocimos en la sesion de entrenamiento para recien contratados de Avianca (la aerolinea Colombiana). Yo empezaba como analista financiera; el era piloto de helicopteros. Fuimos amigos por mucho tiempo, y […]
