I have been extremely busy, working 15 to 17 hours a day on average between last Friday and yesterday. Needless to say, I have slept very little (it seems tonight will be the exception!) so my judgment and my reactions are, well… slow.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;I got up on Wednesday after what I though was 15 minutes of sleep and proceeded to go to take a shower. After that, I grabbed my toothbrush and was about to apply the tooth paste… when I realized I had my disposable razor in my hand instead!&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Laughing, I said to myself: &lt;font color="#ff8040"&gt;“&lt;/font&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8040"&gt;Wow, I certainly am absent minded this morning!”&lt;/font&gt;. &lt;/em&gt;I put the razor down and grabbed the real toothbrush. Then I applied a generous amount of toothpaste on it.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;I was kind of surprised to see that my toothpaste had suddenly become transparent. I looked at the container.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;It wasn’t tooth paste, of course. It was Polysporin ®, the very well known healing ointment that I always carry with me because of my stubborn ingrown toenails. It was a miracle I didn’t put that stuff in my mouth!&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;It took me a good five minutes to clean my toothbrush so my gums wouldn’t be numb because of the Polysporin. I couldn’t believe had stupid I felt at that moment. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Judging by how the day unfolded after that, I should have had gone straight back to bed at that point.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center" text="text"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-P2EwqDFynro/T7XYrUZj-LI/AAAAAAAAB1o/hMhgxWQOtCE/s1600-h/Davenport-20120513-00161%25255B3%25255D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="Davenport-20120513-00161" border="0" alt="Davenport-20120513-00161" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-RA3EoZVTKjw/T7XYtp-_PoI/AAAAAAAAB1w/0HC_dnA1I5U/Davenport-20120513-00161_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="564" height="424"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8040"&gt;They don’t even look alike! &lt;/font&gt;– &lt;font color="#0080ff"&gt;Ni siquiera se parecen!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center" text="text"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="" src="http://lh5.google.com/LFWaterloo/R4_iodmoZ2I/AAAAAAAABBc/OAIBoCrpoTg/separator%5B10%5D" width="191" height="11"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px 6px 0px 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Argentina" align="left" src="http://lh5.google.com/LFWaterloo/R6QCM49hyFI/AAAAAAAABHw/F4MPCCgk1PU/Argentina_thumb%5B3%5D" width="30" height="30"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Estoy en Davenport, Iowa esta semana. He estado muy ocupado, trabajando 15 a 17 horas por día desde el último viernes y hasta ayer. No tengo ni que decir que he dormido poco y nada (aunque esta noche parece ser la excepción), así que mi claridad de mente y mis reacciones son… bueno, bastante limitadas.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;El miércoles me levante luego de lo que sentí habían sido 15 minutos de sueño y me fui a dar una ducha. Después, munido de mi cepillo me dispuse a lavarme los dientes. Ya me iba a poner el dentífrico cuando caí en la cuenta de que lo que tenía en la mano era mi afeitadora descartable!&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Riendo, me dije: &lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#0080ff"&gt;“Guau, estoy especialmente abombado esta mañana!”&lt;/font&gt;. &lt;/em&gt;Dejé la afeitadora y esta vez sí agarré el cepillo de dientes. Luego apliqué una generosa cantidad de pasta sobre él.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Me llamó un poco la atención el hecho de que mi pasta dentífrica se hubiera vuelto súbitamente transparente, así que miré el envase un poco más detenidamente.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;No era dentífrico, por supuesto. Era Polysporin ®, el muy conocido ungüento cicatrizante que siempre llevo conmigo debido a mis muy testarudas uñas encarnadas. Por milagro no me zampé ese mejunje en la boca!&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Me llevó unos buenos cinco minutos limpiar mi cepillo para que mis encías no se durmieran por culpa del Polysporin. No podía creer lo estúpido que me sentía en ese momento.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;A juzgar por cómo me fue en el resto del día, debería haberme vuelto derechito a la cama y seguir durmiendo…&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153,201,255)"&gt; &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:723c64b6-27a9-4dac-8f37-10d2679b9bc2" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"&gt;Technorati Tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Embarrassing+moments" rel="tag"&gt;Embarrassing moments&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29401367-7819261134009227239?l=www.lfwaterloo.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

But it did happen. I’m known for a few things around my friends and co-workers: one of them, for example, is my recurring joke about only knowing two food groups: “things I chase” and “things I fry”. Another one is the fact that I haven’t drunk any alcohol in my entire life (I had my first drink about about four years ago, and I have probably drunk five times since then). The final one is that I have never, ever, smoked. Not even as a joke.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Until last night.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;I’m in the beautiful city of Greenville, South Carolina, doing training. Last night I went out for dinner with a couple of my colleagues, and we found a smoke bar just across the street. Somebody suggested we would go try some hookah, and I was the most surprised of the three when I heard myself say &lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8000"&gt;“Okay!”&lt;/font&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;In case you don’t know what a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hookah"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;hookah&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is, we could define it as a ‘waterpipe’, an instrument for smoking flavoured tobacco where the smoke goes through a basin and then through a hose. The tobacco is very light, and it’s normally flavoured, as I said before. The one we had last night smelled –and tasted– like apples.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;This is a very common tradition in India, Pakistan and other Middle Eastern countries, and it’s gaining many adepts in the New World. I have seen them in the movies, and I even believe that the great “Les Luthiers” once created an informal instrument using a hookah, but other than that, nothing. Still, I went for it and after a few seconds of hesitation, I had my first sip.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Did I inhale the smoke? No. Did I choke? A little. Did I like it? No, not really. But at least I tried something new.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center" text="text"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-wRlvseaP4cI/T6LGufaXwpI/AAAAAAAABuU/VJhijxSSLes/s1600-h/Greenville-20120502-00127%25255B3%25255D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="Greenville-20120502-00127" border="0" alt="Greenville-20120502-00127" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-TO5ElU-HyZI/T6LHG4fhhkI/AAAAAAAABuc/-Z4IU38qaR0/Greenville-20120502-00127_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="564" height="424"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center" text="text"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-nKcTwhEeymU/T6LJ-6SpJRI/AAAAAAAABuo/qvo8mXdmTgQ/s1600-h/Greenville20120502001373.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="Greenville-20120502-00137" border="0" alt="Greenville-20120502-00137" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-NWTYagznb0s/T6LKABcXhtI/AAAAAAAABuw/A6l6jK18la8/Greenville2012050200137_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="564" height="424"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8000"&gt;I look a little stoned, LOL&lt;/font&gt; – &lt;font color="#0080ff"&gt;Parezco un poco ‘tocado’, no?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center" text="text"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="" src="http://lh5.google.com/LFWaterloo/R4_iodmoZ2I/AAAAAAAABBc/OAIBoCrpoTg/separator%5B10%5D" width="191" height="11"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px 6px 0px 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Argentina" align="left" src="http://lh5.google.com/LFWaterloo/R6QCM49hyFI/AAAAAAAABHw/F4MPCCgk1PU/Argentina_thumb%5B3%5D" width="30" height="30"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Si me conocen un poco, no van a creer este post. Pero sí, sucedió. Soy conocido por algunas cosas en mi círculo de amigos y compañeros de trabajo: una es mi broma recurrente acerca de que sólo reconozco dos grupos de comida: “cosas que persigo” y “cosas que frío”. Otra cosa es el hecho de que no he tomado alcohol en mi vida (tuve mi primera experiencia hace unos cuatro años y desde entonces apenas si he probado una bebida). Por último, también soy conocido por no haber fumado jamás en la vida. Ni siquiera para hacer una broma.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Hasta anoche.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Estoy en la hermosa ciudad de Greenville, South Carolina, tomando un curso. Anoche salí a comer con un par de colegas, y encontramos un ‘smoke bar’ justo en frente. Alguien sugerío ir a fumar un poco de narguile (o hookah), y yo fui el más sorprendido de los tres cuando me escuché a mí mismo decir &lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#0080ff"&gt;“Okay!”&lt;/font&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;En caso de que no sepan qué es el &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narguile"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;narguile o hookah&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, podríamos definirlo como una ‘pipa de agua’, un instrumento utilizado para fumar tabaco saborizado, el que el humo pasa por una cacerolita y luego a través de una mangera. El tabajo es muy liviano y saborizado, como dije. El que fumamos anoche olía –y tenía gusto– a manzanas.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Esta es una tradición muy común en India, Pakistán y otros países del Medio Oriente, y está ganando muchos adeptos en el Nuevo Mundo. Yo los he visto en el nuevo mundo, y hasta creo que los geniales “Les Luthiers” crearon un instrumento usando un narguile, pero no sé mucho más que eso. De todos modos dije que sí y luego de unos momentos de duda, me animé a probarlo.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Tragué el humo? No. Me ahogué? Un poquito. Me gustó? No, no mucho. Pero al menos me animé a probar algo nuevo.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="410"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/j76u07GJ1YQ?version=3&amp;amp;hl=en_US"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/j76u07GJ1YQ?version=3&amp;amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="410" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8000"&gt;I was right, they did make an instrument!&lt;/font&gt; – &lt;font color="#0080ff"&gt;Tenía razón, sí hicieron un instrumento!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153,201,255)"&gt; &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:803c7775-182c-490a-9c37-802e74695595" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"&gt;Technorati Tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Travel+stories" rel="tag"&gt;Travel stories&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29401367-591211601813464230?l=www.lfwaterloo.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Right before we went to bed, Florencia got up and went to get a couple of Argentine chocolates bites named “Marroc”, which she promptly shared with her mom.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;I was surprised not only at the fact that she never even made an attempt to offer me one, but she even looked like she was trying to hide the fact that she was eating them from me. Knowing that she’s Daddy’s girl, I put a sad face and said the words that I know generate an instant reaction from my little daughter:&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8000"&gt;- Nobody likes me… nobody will even share a chocolate with me!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Florencia’s response was very different from the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ff00ff"&gt;“I &lt;u&gt;do&lt;/u&gt; like you, Daddy!”&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; I’m used to, and it left me stunned:&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ff00ff"&gt;- But Dad… if I give you a chocolate your blood sugar is going to go up! You can’t have this!!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;I will never know whether she was genuinely concerned about my health of if she wanted all the chocolates for herself (and her Mom).&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center" text="text"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nP6mWvfaecQ/TIumNFMIahI/AAAAAAAAEI4/s3QyzC3GiF4/s1600/bocadito+marroc.JPG" width="560" height="420"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center" text="text"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="" src="http://lh5.google.com/LFWaterloo/R4_iodmoZ2I/AAAAAAAABBc/OAIBoCrpoTg/separator%5B10%5D" width="191" height="11"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px 7px 0px 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Argentina" align="left" src="http://lh5.google.com/LFWaterloo/R6QCM49hyFI/AAAAAAAABHw/F4MPCCgk1PU/Argentina_thumb%5B3%5D" width="30" height="30"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red"&gt;28/Abr/2012 –&amp;nbsp; Florencia (8)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Era sábado a la noche y estábamos mirando TV. Justo antes de irnos a la cama, Florencia se levantó y se trajo unos bocaditos de chocolate “Marroc” que nos habían enviado desde Argentina, los que inmediatamente compartió con su madre.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;A mí me sorprendió no sólo el hecho de que nunca hizo un intento de convidarme uno, sino que hasta pareció que se escondía para comer así yo no la veía. Sabiendo que ella es la nena de papá, puse cara triste y dije las palabras que sé que siempre generan una reacción en mi pequeña hija:&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#0080ff"&gt;- Nadie me quiere… ni siquiera me convidan un chocolate!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;La respuesta de Florencia fue muy diferente del &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff00ff"&gt;“Yo sí te quiero, Papi!”&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; al que estoy acostumbrado, y me dejó atónito:&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ff00ff"&gt;- Pero Papi… Si te doy un chocolate tu azúcar se va a poner muy alto! No podés comer esto!!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Nunca sabré si ella estaba genuinamente interesada en mi salud o si simplemente quería todos los chocolates para ella (y su Mamá).&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:2a4f1985-574d-4dfb-b1fa-dcde4da466a7" class="wlWriterSmartContent"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: #99c9ff"&gt;Technorati Tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Silly%20Monkey%20story" rel="tag"&gt;Silly Monkey story&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29401367-2864538334116195068?l=www.lfwaterloo.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

She got an ear infection, so she was in a lot of pain, as you can imagine. She came back from the clinic shaking like a leaf. Like her mother, being sick scares here a lot.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;I did what I do best: I comforted her. I was lying on my couch, still recovering from my groin injury -I've been in a lot of pain for over two weeks now-, so I asked her to come and lay on top of my belly &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8000"&gt;‘like when you were a baby'&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0080"&gt;- No, I can’t, my ear hurts so much!!!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8000"&gt;- Then lay on top of my belly, but looking the other way. I will cure you in no time, you’ll see…&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;She comes over and carefully climbs up my belly (which I won’t say it’s the Everest, but maybe the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K2" target="_blank"&gt;K2&lt;/a&gt; for her). &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Hey, stop crying!! You’re getting my shirt all wet!! &lt;u&gt;This&lt;/u&gt; is not a booger,i is it?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;I got a smile from her. That was good. My method worked, of course: a couple of minutes later, not only she had stopped shaking but she was also asleep.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Florencia stayed home the following morning. I told her she could sleep in my bed, and that I was going to be working in bed all day just to be with her. She woke up, hugged me and asked me if she could go get some cereal. &lt;font color="#ff8000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It’s OK”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;, &lt;/em&gt;I said, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8000"&gt;“&lt;em&gt;but you’re not going to eat those Fruit Loops in bed, are you? If Mom finds a single one, I’m toast!”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Of course she did, and then she fell asleep again. About half an hour later, and as I was very busy with my stuff, she woke up, turned around, grabbed my right arm and curled around it, while saying:&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0080"&gt;- You’re the best Daddy in the whole world…&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Then she went back to sleeping. I spent about 10 minutes just watching her in awe. She had just made my day.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;That night, when Gaby went to bed, she found a green Fruit Loop under the pillow. And yes, I got in trouble.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center" text="text"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="" src="http://lh5.google.com/LFWaterloo/R4_iodmoZ2I/AAAAAAAABBc/OAIBoCrpoTg/separator%5B10%5D" width="191" height="11"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px 7px 0px 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Argentina" align="left" src="http://lh5.google.com/LFWaterloo/R6QCM49hyFI/AAAAAAAABHw/F4MPCCgk1PU/Argentina_thumb%5B3%5D" width="30" height="30"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red"&gt;12/Apr/2012 – Florencia (8)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Florencia estuvo enferma la semana pasada. Tuvo una infección del oído, algo que es dolorosísimo, como pueden imaginar. Volvió de la clínica temblando como una hoja. Como su madre, se asusta mucho cuando se enferma.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Yo hice lo que sé hacer: la conforté. Estaba tirado en el sillón, aún recuperándome de un tirón en mi ingle –me he pasado los últimos 15 días con un dolor muy intenso-, así que le dije que viniera y se tirara arriba de mi estómago &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#0080ff"&gt;‘como cuando eras bebita’&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0080"&gt;- No puedo, mi oído me duele mucho!!!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#0080ff"&gt;- Entonces acostate en mi panza, pero mirando para el otro lado. Te voy a curar enseguida, vas a ver…&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Ella viene y cuidadosamente se trepa a mi barriga (no diré que fue el Everest para ella, pero sí al menos el &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/K2" target="_blank"&gt;K2&lt;/a&gt;). &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#0080ff"&gt;- Hey, basta de llorar!!! Me estás mojando toda la remera!! Esto no serán mocos, no?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Le arranqué una sonrisa. Eso fue buena señal. Mi método funcionó, por supuesto: un par de minutos más tarde, no sólo había dejado de temblar, sino que también se había quedado profundamente dormida.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Florencia se quedó en casa al otro día. Yo le dije que podía dormir en mi cama, y que yo iba a trabajar en mi cama todo el día para estar con ella. Flor se despertó, me abrazó y me preguntó si podía comer cereales. &lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#0080ff"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Está bien&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;, &lt;/em&gt;dije, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#0080ff"&gt;“pero no pensarás comer los Fruit Loops en la cama, no? Si tu mamá encuentra uno, me revienta!”&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Por supuesto que los comió, tras lo cual se durmió otra vez. Una media hora más tarde, y mientras yo estaba muy concentrado en lo mío, se dio vuelta, se enroscó alrededor de mi brazo derecho y me dijo bajito:&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0080"&gt;- Sos el mejor Papi de todo el mundo…&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Y siguió durmiendo. Yo me quedé como 10 minutos mirándola, embelesado. Qué mejor forma de empezar el día…&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Esa noche, cuando Gaby fue a acostarse, se encontró un Fruit Loop verde debajo de la almohada. Y sí, me metí en problemas. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:2a4f1985-574d-4dfb-b1fa-dcde4da466a7" class="wlWriterSmartContent"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: #99c9ff"&gt;Technorati Tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Silly%20Monkey%20story" rel="tag"&gt;Silly Monkey story&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29401367-6094872232989156927?l=www.lfwaterloo.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

In case you don’t know me, my name is Gabriel, and I’m an Argentine living in Canada since 2000, along with my wife Gabriela (I know, Gabriel and Gabriela…) and my four kids: Santiago (almost 17), Carolina (15), Juan (13) and Florencia (8).&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Three teenagers in the house… what a blessing! And people wonder why I travel so much… :-)&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;I do travel, a lot. I work for AGFA, a well-known graphics company, which also has a healthcare informatics division. I live in Waterloo, Ontario, but I’m one of the ten people in there who doesn’t currently work, nor has worked or is seeking employment at RIM. I do have a BlackBerry, though, and I love it. Oh, and a PlayBook that comes with me to every trip.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;I write about pretty much everything, but there are two major themes in here: one is that I always try to put a little humour to everything I write (sometimes I'm even mildly successful) and the other thing is that I write a lot about my kids and my life with them. Not that I don't have to say anything about my dear wife! You just wait a couple of days... :-) &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;I write about my kids, and I consider myself a blogger Dad, no doubts about it. I do plenty of different things, but being a Daddy is the best job I have ever had (though I never look forward to the performance review meetings)…&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;I though it would be a great idea to enter the &lt;a href="http://www.5minutesformom.com/51797/ultimate-blog-party-2012/"&gt;2012 Edition of the &lt;strong&gt;Ultimate Blog Party&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. I have been following "&lt;a href="http://www.5minutesformom.com/"&gt;5 Minutes for Mom&lt;/a&gt;" for quite some time now, and I thought this would be a good excuse for me to showcase my blog a little, and then see if I can go back to being a little more social... I haven't been paying too much attention to my fellow bloggers lately, I'm fully aware of that.  &lt;p&gt;What else? Well, not much. How about I list some of my favourite posts so you take a look and tell me what you think?&lt;br&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="480" bgcolor="navy" align="center"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="480"&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;“&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://lfwaterloo.blogspot.com/2007/10/coming-to-canada-part-1_8418.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ffff00"&gt;Coming to Canada&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;”, the story of my family’s immigration &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Meet my wife, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://lfwaterloo.blogspot.com/2008/02/my-funny-valentine_7704.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ffff00"&gt;Gabriela&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font color="#ffff00"&gt; &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Meet my son, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://lfwaterloo.blogspot.com/2007/07/never-give-up_991.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ffff00"&gt;Santi&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ffff00"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;(and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://lfwaterloo.blogspot.com/2008/04/birth-stories-1-santiago_8349.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffff00"&gt;his birth story&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;) &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Meet my daughter &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://lfwaterloo.blogspot.com/2007/10/sometimes-it-so-hard-to-keep-straight_4281.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ffff00"&gt;Carolina&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ffff00"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;(and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://lfwaterloo.blogspot.com/2008/04/birth-stories-2-carolina_04.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffff00"&gt;her birth story&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;) &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Meet my son, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://lfwaterloo.blogspot.com/2007/11/juan_6355.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ffff00"&gt;Juan&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ffff00"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;(and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://lfwaterloo.blogspot.com/2008/04/birth-stories-3-juan-1-of-2_646.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffff00"&gt;his birth story&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;) &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Meet my daughter, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://lfwaterloo.blogspot.com/2009/02/my-little-valentine_6974.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ffff00"&gt;Florencia&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt; (and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://lfwaterloo.blogspot.com/2008/06/birth-stories-4-florencia_16.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffff00"&gt;her birth story&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;) &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;My &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://lfwaterloo.blogspot.com/2008/12/soitenly-01-beginning-1900-1923_5365.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;bio of the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#ffff00"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Three Stooges&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;(written long ago, way &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;before we knew about the movie!)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Check my &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://lfwaterloo.blogspot.com/search/label/Silly%20Monkey%20Stories" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ffff00"&gt;Silly Monkey Stories&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt; posts!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;A favourite of mine, my &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lfwaterloo.com/search/label/Embarrassing%20moments" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ffff00"&gt;Embarrassing Moments&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffff00"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;posts!

Por si aún no me conocen, mi nombre es Gabriel y soy un argentino viviendo en Canadá desde el 2000, junto con mi esposa Gabriela (ya sé, Gabriel y Gabriela…) y mis cuatro hijos: Santiago (casi 17), Carolina (15), Juan (13) y Florencia (8).&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Tres adolescentes en la casa… toda una bendición! Y la gente se pregunta por qué viajo tanto… :-)&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Viajo, es cierto. Trabajo en AGFA, una muy conocida compañía de gráfica y fotografía, que tambié tiene una división de informática para la salud. Vivo en Waterloo, Ontario, pero soy una de las diez personas de allí que no trabaja actualmente, trabajó en el pasado o busca trabajo en RIM. Sí tengo un BlackBerry, y lo amo. Ah, también tengo una PlayBook, que es mi compañera inseparable de viajes.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Escribo sobre de todo un poco, pero hay dos temas predominantes aquí: el primero es que siempre intento ponerle un poquito de humor a lo que escribo (a veces hasta con moderado éxito) y el otro tema es que escribo mucho sobre mis hijos y mi vida con ellos. Eso no quiere decir que no tenga mucho que decir de mi querida esposa! Sólo esperen un par de días… :-)&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Escribo sobre mis hijos y me considero un ‘papá blogger’, sin dudas. Hago muchísimas cosas en mi vida, pero ser padre es el mejor trabajo que haya tenido (aunque no siempre espero los días de evaluación de rendimiento con alegría…)&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;Pensé que sería una buena idea entrar a la &lt;a href="http://www.5minutesformom.com/51797/ultimate-blog-party-2012/"&gt;Edición 2012 del &lt;strong&gt;Ultimate Blog Party&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. He seguido el blog "&lt;a href="http://www.5minutesformom.com/"&gt;5 Minutes for Mom&lt;/a&gt;" por bastante tiempo, y pensé que sería una buena excusa para que mostrar mi blog a una nueva audiencia, y de paso ver si me pongo un poco más sociable, porque últimamente… un desastre. Lo tengo muy claro.  &lt;p&gt;Qué más? Bueno, no mucho. Qué tal si les pongo una lista de mis posts favoritos para que le peguen una ojeada y me cuenten qué les parecieron?&lt;br&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align="center"&gt;

One shows how Google would have looked back in the 80s, if I had connected through a BBS. I loved it, though my kids could not believe one would have to wait for more than four seconds to get whatever information we needed.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;The second one is a version of Twitter as if it were run from MS DOS (from a floppy disk!). The GUI kind of reminds me of an old favourite of mine back then, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borland_Sidekick"&gt;Borland Sidekick&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;The final one is the uber-popular Angry Birds game, in its Commodore 64 version. I don’t care what anybody says, these videos are awesome. And the games we used to play back then, equally great. I spent so many hours playing Summer Games and Pitfall on my brother’s Commodore 128… I loved those games! I also remember playing Prince of Persia on my PC XT turbo, many years later, and watch it fly thanks to my 12 Mhz processor (only when the ‘turbo’ button was on). :-)&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Yes, I do miss those times.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center" text="text"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="" src="http://lh5.google.com/LFWaterloo/R4_iodmoZ2I/AAAAAAAABBc/OAIBoCrpoTg/separator%5B10%5D" width="191" height="11"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px 6px 0px 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Argentina" align="left" src="http://lh5.google.com/LFWaterloo/R6QCM49hyFI/AAAAAAAABHw/F4MPCCgk1PU/Argentina_thumb%5B3%5D" width="30" height="30"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Me encontré estos videos hoy, muy buenos. Uno muestra cómo hubiera sido Google en los 80s, si me hubiese conectado a través de un BBS. Me encantó, aunque mis hijos no pudieron comprender el concepto de haber tenido que esperar más de cuatro segundos para obtener la información requerida.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;El segundo muestra una versión de Twitter ejecutada desde MS DOS (en un diskette!). El GUI me recuerda a un viejo favorito mío, el &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borland_Sidekick"&gt;Borland Sidekick&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Finalmente tenemos al uber-popular juego Angry Birds, en su versión Commodore 64. No me importa lo que digan, estos videos están geniales. Y los juegos que solíamos jugar allá lejos y hace tiempo eran buenísimos. Si me habré pasado horas jugando al Summer Games o al Pitfall en la Commodore 128 de mi hermano… Me encantaban esos jueguitos! También recuerdo jugar al Prince of Persia en mi PC XT turbo, muchos años después, y ver cómo el juego ‘volaba’ gracias a mi procesador de 12Mhz (bueno, sólo si el botón ‘turbo’ estaba prendido). :-)&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;La verdad que sí, extraño esos tiempos.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="410"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/O8vCEg5k_d4?version=3&amp;amp;hl=en_US"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/O8vCEg5k_d4?version=3&amp;amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="410" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="410"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FCvidD5JKBg?version=3&amp;amp;hl=en_US"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FCvidD5JKBg?version=3&amp;amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="410" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="410"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OOurrhvnB9U?version=3&amp;amp;hl=en_US"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OOurrhvnB9U?version=3&amp;amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="410" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153,201,255)"&gt; &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:08ced90b-4d9a-43b6-b6dc-6aa41ab55e62" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"&gt;Technorati Tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/internet+is+funny" rel="tag"&gt;internet is funny&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/google" rel="tag"&gt;google&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/twitter" rel="tag"&gt;twitter&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/angry+birds" rel="tag"&gt;angry birds&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29401367-8232393291311019901?l=www.lfwaterloo.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It happens to me all the time and it’s really painful. I try to trim my toenails and keep them healthy and out of trouble, but in the end it’s always the same story: I get an ingrown toenail, my big toes get infected, lots of pain and a couple of weeks of constant care. I even had (enter cringe mode) one of my toenails surgically removed (exit cringe mode) a couple years ago.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;It was particularly bad a couple of weeks ago, and it affected both my big toes at the same time. I was cleaning them up the other day and after I applied the ointment I realized I had run out of band aids or gauze. &lt;font color="#ff8040"&gt;“&lt;/font&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8040"&gt;It’s OK, I bought some when I was travelling the other month”&lt;/font&gt;, &lt;/em&gt;I remembered, so I went looking for them in my suitcase.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;That’s when I remembered that I had bought them while travelling with my girls… Hey, a band aid is a band aid.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/--PiNuN5WtXM/T33LG6wu6hI/AAAAAAAABds/sZrEQhOr364/s1600-h/IMG-20120330-00050%25255B3%25255D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG-20120330-00050" border="0" alt="IMG-20120330-00050" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-OPJPUSHyTPg/T33LH_1vghI/AAAAAAAABd0/Er-GICajoiA/IMG-20120330-00050_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="484" height="364"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center" text="text"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="" src="http://lh5.google.com/LFWaterloo/R4_iodmoZ2I/AAAAAAAABBc/OAIBoCrpoTg/separator%5B10%5D" width="191" height="11"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px 6px 0px 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Argentina" align="left" src="http://lh5.google.com/LFWaterloo/R6QCM49hyFI/AAAAAAAABHw/F4MPCCgk1PU/Argentina_thumb%5B3%5D" width="30" height="30"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Sufro por mis uñas encarnadas. Me pasa –en los pies– todo el tiempo y duele muchísimo. Trato de cortar mis uñas y mantener los dedos sanos y fuera de problemas, pero al final es siempre lo mismo. Se me encarna una, se me infectan los dedos gordos del pie, paso dolores increíbles y siguen un par de semanas de cuidados. Si hasta he tenido (prepárense para fruncirse) que recurrir al cirujano para que me sacaran una uña (ya se me fruncieron) hace un par de años.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Fue particularmente complicado hace un par de semanas, y me afectó ambos dedos pulgares del pie.

He then told me &lt;font color="#008000"&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Come on, man! Why don’t you press the turbo button?” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;, which caused both of us to laugh. He made me remember this story that I hadn’t mentioned here yet.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Back in 2000, and right before we left for Canada, it was common for me to spend the weekend alone with the kids, because Gaby would work Saturday and Sunday at her pasta store. We would normally go to a park or the zoo on Saturdays, weather permitting; if the day was too ugly or too cold, then we would go to the Unicenter Shopping and then to the movies. In all of these cases, we would have to take the Panamerican highway and that would be where the demands will be made:&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;- Hurry, Daddy! Faster!!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;- We will be late!!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;- Huddy up! &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;(it was a lot of fun to hear Juan talk at that age)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;I would pretend not to listen at first, which would cause the kids to ask me to use our Cuiki’s (our car) secret weapon: its turbo button. This device, incredibly similar to that one you press when you’re about to park or driving at a very low speed, would grant to my small vehicle the ability of reaching almost supersonic speed. That is why I would be hesitant to use it, I wouldn’t want the sudden change in Kinetic Energy and the many G’s we would have to endure to affect them too much…&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- &lt;font color="#008000"&gt;Come &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;on,&lt;/font&gt; D&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;ad!!!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8040"&gt;- I don’t know, guys, it’s too risky… should I press it now?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- &lt;font color="#008000"&gt;Y&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;e&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;s!!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;I would press the button in the middle of the highway, turn on the parking lights and hit the gas pedal. Not that much, let’s say from 100 to 110 km/h. But of course, it was a &lt;em&gt;a lot &lt;/em&gt;for my kids, and I would make sure that I would make it look much bigger than what it really was.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- &lt;font color="#008000"&gt;That’s it!! &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;Yea, Daddy!! &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;Let’s go!!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8040"&gt;- Oh, wow, this is too fast!! I gotta slow down, I gotta slow down!!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#0080ff"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;I would turn off the parking lights and go back to my normal speed.

Por qué no apretás el botón de turbo?” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;, tras lo cual ambos nos reímos con ganas. Así me hizo recordar esta historia que aún no había mencionado aquí.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Allá por el 2000, justo antes de venirnos para Canadá, era común que yo pasara el fin de semana solo con los chicos, porque Gaby trabajaba sábado y domingo en su fábrica de pastas. Por lo general aprovechábamos el sábado para salir a pasear, ya sea al parque, al zoológico o a algún lugar al aire libre si estaba lindo, o al Unicenter Shopping y al cine si estaba muy feo o muy frío. En todos los casos, teníamos que tomar la Autopista Panamericana, y ahí era cuando comenzaban los reclamos:&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;- Dale, Papi! Más rápido!!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;- No vamos a llegar!!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;- Apudate! &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;(La media lengua de Juan era realmente deliciosa)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Yo me hacía rogar un poco, lo que motivaba a los chicos a pedirme que utilizara el arma secreta de nuestro auto, el ‘Cuiki’: su botón turbo. Este botón, sospechosamente parecido al que se usa cuando uno está parado o circulando a muy baja velocidad (las balizas), le daba a mi pequeño vehículo la habilidad de alcanzar velocidades casi supersónicas. Era por eso que yo me resistía, no quería que el súbito cambio de energía cinética y el exceso de gravedad que teníamos que soportar los afectara demasiado…&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- &lt;font color="#008000"&gt;Da&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;le,&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;Pa!!!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#0080ff"&gt;- No sé, me parece muy arriesgado… Les parece que lo apriete ahora?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- &lt;font color="#008000"&gt;S&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;í&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;!!!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;En plena autopista, apretaba el botón para prender las balizas y procedía a acelerar. No mucho, pongámosle que de 100 a 110 km/h. Pero claro, para mis chiquitos era una barbaridad, y yo me ocupaba de exagerarlo muy bien.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- &lt;font color="#008000"&gt;Bien!! &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;Tí, Papi!! &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;Viva!!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#0080ff"&gt;- Eh, guau, se me fue la mano!!!

Very little was done by our governments in the almost 150 years that passed after they were occupied by the UK in 1833. There were times when there were some faint claims, and others in which the situation was thoroughly ignored. We were raised and educated with the idea that these islands were part of our territory, that they were our ‘missing sisters’, but the truth is that very little was done besides that. It was like now, where &lt;em&gt;everybody &lt;/em&gt;talks and talks about the Malvinas islands (including our very corrupt government) but nobody would move a finger or come up with an idea to deal with the issue. This doesn’t mean the previous governments were any better, though. They were all equally inept.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;We must have gone to war against the UK, but I don’t lose sight of who was our real enemy: we had a military government, absolutely illegitimate and in decadence, but still supported for part of our society (including the couple that regrettably has ruled the destiny of my home country for the last ten years). Things were definitely looking bad and the government of the drunken General Galtieri was going down in flames. The ‘Brazil’ branch of the CGT (workers union) had called for a strike and marched on Plaza de Mayo on March 30, 1982; this had ended with numerous incidents and even a death. The government was agonizing. Something had to be done.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;The solution was simple yet terrifying: they re-invaded the islands with overnight, and hoped for the appearance of the until then almost unknown Argentine sense of patriotism. It was a good move: three days after that march that had ended in a bloody repression by the police, Plaza de Mayo was again full of people, but this time they were cheering this same illegitimate government for having ‘recovered’ the islands. I’m sure many people actually attended both demonstrations.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;What happened after that? Not too much. The government had no plan or strategy; it had all been concocted in a matter of hours! Our President was naive enough (I would say imbecile) to think that US President Reagan would support him in the event of a conflict with the UK, just because they seemed to get along. He also probably thought that the UK government, without a doubt taken by surprise, was not going to react (those islands are so far away after all!). In summary, the whole plot was a good example of why many people consider the phrase “military intelligence”an oxymoron.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;When it became evident that a conflict was imminent, they sent 18, 19 year old kids to the islands, with no experience, preparation or adequate clothing. They starved, froze and went through the most demeaning situations one can think of. Some of these kids, desperate, would come out of the trenches to meet the English soldiers, so they could be captured. Unfortunately for them, sometimes they would end meeting the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigade_of_Gurkhas" target="_blank"&gt;ghurkas&lt;/a&gt;, the Nepalese brigade, which would kill everybody on sight, no questions asked.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Where were the head of our military forces in the meantime? In Buenos Aires, of course, comfortable and warm, getting ready to watch the FIFA World Cup in Spain. Like most of us were, I have to say, because we were very effectively brainwashed (almost like they do these days). The Army Forces started this incredible war, and a good part of our society backed them up. But when things got difficult, only the Air Force and the Navy pilots stayed to fight and held their own, which is why they’re recognized by their efforts and skills even today. The rest, nothing… Letters and chocolates and very eloquent speeches, but that was all. You can tell me that this is a very outrageous comparison I’m making, but there were more references to the problems with the cell phone company Movistar than to the anniversary of the beginning of the Malvinas war on Twitter today.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;So… today we witness a revival of this claim of sovereignty, which will last as much as this government needs to use it as a smoke screen. Even more, the tone of what is being said is very similar to that coming from those illegitimate and drunken generals from back then. But we all know that everything will go back to ‘normal’ soon afterwards, and our society will continue to hide, ignore and feel ashamed of our war veterans, the only ones we have; this poor people will continue to live in poverty and shame, like they have been since that remote and fatal 1982.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center" text="text"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My tribute and respect to those who fought in the Malvinas war between April and June of 1982. They will always be my heroes.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center" text="text"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center" text="text"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.panoramio.com/photo/29691846"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="29691846" border="0" alt="29691846" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-I7EIolgNW0c/T3oj8rvpPmI/AAAAAAAABbw/1ffTxgSKIgo/29691846%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="564" height="424"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8040"&gt;The monument to the Malvinas veterans in Quequén, Argentina&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center" text="text"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#0080ff"&gt;El monumento a los veteranos de Malvinas en Quequén, Argentina&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center" text="text"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Source: &lt;a href="http://www.panoramio.com/photo/29691846"&gt;Panoramio&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center" text="text"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="" src="http://lh5.google.com/LFWaterloo/R4_iodmoZ2I/AAAAAAAABBc/OAIBoCrpoTg/separator%5B10%5D" width="191" height="11"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px 6px 0px 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Argentina" align="left" src="http://lh5.google.com/LFWaterloo/R6QCM49hyFI/AAAAAAAABHw/F4MPCCgk1PU/Argentina_thumb%5B3%5D" width="30" height="30"&gt;Tengo sentimientos encontrados acerca del tema Malvinas. Ocupadas por Inglaterra en 1833, nuestros gobiernos dejaron pasar casi 150 años entre períodos de tibios reclamos y otros en los que se ignoró la situación por completo. A nosotros nos educaron diciéndonos que las islas eran nuestras, que eran nuestras ‘hermanitas perdidas’, pero la verdad es que no pasó más de eso. Era como ahora, en que todo el mundo se llena la boca hablando de las Malvinas (nuestro nefasto y corruptísimo gobierno incluído), pero nadie jamás mueve un dedo o tira una idea al respecto. Esto no quiere decir que los gobiernos anteriores hayan sido mejores, por supuesto. Fueron todos igualmente ineptos.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;La guerra habrá sido contra el Reino Unido, pero yo no me olvido de quién fue el verdadero enemigo: teníamos un gobierno militar, totalmente ilegítimo y en decadencia, pero así y todo avalado por ciertos sectores de nuestra sociedad (incluyendo a la pareja que lamentablemente ha regido los destinos de nuestro país por los últimos diez años). Las cosas estaban decididamente mal y el gobierno del beodo General Galtieri se caía en picada. La rama ‘Brasil’ de la CGT (central obrera) había hecho un paro con movilización el 30 de Marzo de 1982, el que había terminado con numerosos incidentes y hasta un muerto. Este gobierno de facto agonizaba. Había que hacer algo.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;La solución fue simple y terrorífica: se re-invadieron las islas a los ponchazos y se apeló al hasta entonces cuasi desconocido patriotismo de nuestra sociedad. La movida fue un éxito: tres días después de esa marcha que había terminado con una sangrienta represión, la Plaza de Mayo estaba nuevamente llena de gente, que vivaba a un gobierno ilegítimo por haber ‘recuperado’ las islas. Estoy seguro de que muchos deben haber estado en ambas marchas.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Que vino después? No mucho. El gobierno no tenía plan o estrategia alguna, si todo había sido cocinado en cuestión de horas! Nuestro Presidente era tan ingenuo (yo diría imbécil) que pensó que el gobierno de Reagan (con quien se llevaba más que bien) lo apoyaría en un conflicto con el Reino Unido. Así nos fue. También pensó que el gobierno inglés, sin dudas sorprendido por la situación, no iba a reaccionar (las islas quedan tan lejos!). En fin, la movida fue todo un ejemplo de por qué se considera a la frase ‘inteligencia militar’ un oximorón.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Cuando se hizo evidente que un conflicto armado estaba cerca, enviaron a las islas a chicos de 18 ó 19 años, totalmente inexpertos, sin preparación ni vestimenta adecuada. Pasaron hambre, frío y las más denigrantes situaciones que uno pueda pensar. Algunos de estos chicos, desesperados, salían al encuentro de las tropas inglesas para que los capturaran. Lamentablemente, en muchos casos se encontraban con &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigade_of_Gurkhas" target="_blank"&gt;los ghurkas&lt;/a&gt;, la brigada nepalesa de las tropas inglesas, que los pasaban por las armas allí mismo.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Dónde estaba mientras tanto nuestra cúpula militar? En Buenos Aires, por supuesto, cómodos y calentitos, preparándose para mirar el Mundíal de España. Como la gran mayoría de nosotros, debo decir, porque nos lavaron el cerebro muy bien (casi, casi como lo hacen ahora). Las Fuerzas Armadas iniciaron esta guerra increíble, y buena parte de la sociedad los respaldó. Pero a la hora de los bifes sólo la Aeronáutica y la Fuerza Aérea salvaron la ropa y es por eso que el día de hoy aún son reconocidos por sus esfuerzos y habilidad. El resto, nada… Cartitas y chocolates, y declaraciones efectistas, pero nunca nada más. Me dirán que es un método muy antojadizo el que uso, pero hoy hay más referencias en Twitter a los problemas con la compañía de teléfonos celulares Movistar que al aniversario del inicio de la guerra en Malvinas. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;En fin… hoy asistimos a un ‘revival’ de este reclamo, que va a durar tanto como a este gobierno le convenga usarlo como pantalla. Es más, el discurso es peligrosamente parecido al de aquellos militares ilegítimos y borrachos de por entonces. Pero sabemos que luego, todo volverá a ser como era antes, con una sociedad que esconde, ignora y se avergüenza de los únicos veteranos de guerra que tenemos, y esta pobre gente seguirá penando en la indigencia, como lo ha venido haciendo desde aquél lejano y fatídico 1982.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center" text="text"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mi tributo y respeto a aquellos que combatieron en la guerra de Malvinas entre Abril y Junio de 1982.

We spent all afternoon on Saturday talking, playing and –of course– eating. Florencia played with Shiloh and her sister Leah, and we didn’t hear of any disagreements or fights, as usual. These three girls really get along with each other.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;At one moment, the kids brought all of our Webkinz for the girls to see (including mine!), and Juan was nice enough to give away to of his, one to each girl. I took “&lt;a href="http://www.lfwaterloo.com/2009/02/intruders-detected_3512.html"&gt;Ratontito&lt;/a&gt;”, my webkinz, and I spent the whole afternoon and evening placing it in the most unusual places (on top of the TV, hanging from the chandelier, playing with my laptop), pretending to be really mad at &lt;em&gt;him&lt;/em&gt; whenever little Shiloh found him. She even gave him a fifteen minutes timeout!! And he got away when she wasn’t looking, of course. The girls left at around 11:00 PM, but my pet mouse had another surprise waiting for Shiloh… When she opened the front door to get in the car, she found my friend on the driveway, waiting to go in. She must be still scratching her head! :-)&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;We were talking about TV shows during dinner, and Sileny confessed that many times after the girls had gone to bed, she had found herself watching an episode of iCarly, the Disney show. I said that I could understand that, since the show is really funny (I love Carly’s brother and her blonde friend). So I said that I too have enjoyed the occasional episode of iCarly. That’s when Shiloh suddenly heard me:&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff00ff"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;- What?

(Pretending to be excited) I LOVE iCarly!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff00ff"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;- No! You can’t!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;- (Puzzled) Why?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff00ff"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;- You’re too BIG for that show!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;The tone was more in the lines of &lt;font color="#ff00ff"&gt;“&lt;/font&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff00ff"&gt;That’s MY show and you’re not allowed to watch it, OK?”&lt;/font&gt;. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;This girl kills me.

Estas tres nenas sí que se llevan bien!&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;En un determinado momento, los chicos trajeron todos sus Webkinz para que los vieran las nenas (trajeron hasta el mío!) y Juan fue tan bueno que les regaló uno a cada una de ellas. Yo agarré a “&lt;a href="http://www.lfwaterloo.com/2009/02/intruders-detected_3512.html"&gt;Ratontito&lt;/a&gt;”, mi webkinz, y me pasé la tarde y la noche poniéndolo en los lugares más inverosímiles (sobre la TV, colgando de una araña, jugando con mi laptop), y luego pretendía estar muy enojado con &lt;em&gt;él &lt;/em&gt;cuando Shiloh lo encontraba. Si hasta lo puso en penitencia por quince minuto!!! Y el por supuesto se escapó cuando no lo vigilaban. Las chicas se fueron a eso de las 11:00 PM pero mi ratón mascota aún tenía una sorpresa para Shiloh… Cuando fue a abrir la puerta para salir y meterse en el auto, se lo encontró a Ratontito, que estaba esperando ansioso para entrar. Todavía debe estar rascándose la cabeza!! :-)&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Hablábamos sobre programas de TV durante la cena, y Sileny confesó que muchas veces se había encontrado mirando un episodio de iCarly (el show de Disney) luego de que las nenas se hubieran ido a la cama. Yo respondí que podía entender eso, porque el show es realmente divertido (me encanta el hermano de Carly y su amiga rubia). Le dije a Sile que yo también de vez en cuando me enganchaba a mirar algún que otro episodio de este show. Ahí fue que Shiloh de pronto me escuchó:&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff00ff"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;- Qué?

(Pretendiendo gran excitación) Me ENCANTA iCarly!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff00ff"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;- No! No te puede encantar!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;- (Extrañado) Por qué?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff00ff"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;- Porque sos demasiado GRANDE para ese show!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;El tono era más como diciendo &lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff00ff"&gt;“Ese es mi showy vos no tenés permiso de verlo&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#ff00ff"&gt;, OK?”&lt;/font&gt;. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Esta nena me ‘mata’.

No can do. Got calls starting at 7:00 AM. I’m tired&lt;/div&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;I forgot to bring a sweater, fleece or anything like that, and it’s freezing in here. I’m about to buy me a fleece at the hospital’s gift shop…&lt;/div&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Worst of all: my wife has been reminding me to call so I could take my company car to get the oil change, as I just went past the 10,000 km mark. I kept saying &lt;font color="#ff8040"&gt;“&lt;/font&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8040"&gt;Yes, I got it”&lt;/font&gt;, &lt;/em&gt;but procrastinated until last Friday. Of course I wouldn’t get any appointments before next week. Then, last night, as I’m about to arrive to destination, I got the “Change engine oil soon” message on my dashboard. Crap. She wins again. I already got an appointment for today, so I hope today is the day Gaby doesn’t read my blog so she thinks (erroneously) that I’m responsible. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt; &lt;p align="center" text="text"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-_hQ5x5ehOII/T3CkTn4-p4I/AAAAAAAABYE/x0x1PD4H-Uc/s1600-h/IMG-20120325-00043%25255B3%25255D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="IMG-20120325-00043" border="0" alt="IMG-20120325-00043" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-uPdbEH8RIks/T3CkULQswQI/AAAAAAAABYM/gTEDTiYR_YY/IMG-20120325-00043_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="564" height="424"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8000"&gt;At a rest stop on I94 in Michigan – Is people really supposed to ‘go’ in here?

Imposible. Me empezaron a llamar a las 7:00 AM. Estoy cansadito.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;Me olvidé de traer un sweater, buzo o cualquier clase de abrigo y hace un frío de aquellos. Ya me estoy por comprar un buzo con el logo del hospital en la tiendita que tienen aquí.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;La peor de todas: mi esposa me ha estado recordando que tengo que llevar el auto de la compañía a hacer el service, porque ya me he pasado de los 10,000 km. Yo le contestaba &lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#0080ff"&gt;“Sí, ya estoy en eso”&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, pero me dejé estar hasta el viernes. Por supuesto, no pude conseguir citas hasta la semana que viene. Anoche, casi llegando a destino, me apareció el mensajito “Cambie el aceite cuanto antes” en mi tablero. Ufa. Otra vez gana ella. Ya saqué un turno para hoy, así que espero que éste sea el día en que Gaby no lea mi blog y así piense (equivocadamente) que soy responsable.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="justify" text="text"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-OF_gK7gu_IM/T3CkUeNYgYI/AAAAAAAABYU/dgTHUfXgReo/s1600-h/image%25255B3%25255D.png"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-rdfKFmj-z1w/T3CkU0Z1-dI/AAAAAAAABYc/0zvD-8hc2oU/image_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="564" height="195"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#ff8000"&gt;I drove over 1,030 km (640 miles) yesterday, because of my stupid mistake&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#0080ff"&gt;Por mi estúpido error, terminé manejando más de 1,030 km ayer&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153,201,255)"&gt; &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:925af175-2478-40cd-b90a-e460e3edcabf" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"&gt;Technorati Tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Travel+stories" rel="tag"&gt;Travel stories&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29401367-6834767029593427475?l=www.lfwaterloo.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
