@hlezama,

As usual, brother ... brilliant.

Whenever I read your stuff, I find myself cognizant of a people "Holding their breath," desperately kicking to reach the surface. Surely, you must almost be there. And, if you can just hold your breath a little longer ... air. An explosion of life-giving air.

Excellent insights ... and Marg is as enamored by your commentary as am I.

BTW ... I'm running into more and more Venezuelans and I mention that I have a mate in-country. They all want to know: 1.) In which city do you live? 2.) You were a professor of which subject (and at which university)?

When I don't know the answer to something ... I've just been making it up.

"Henrry is the direct descendant, albeit an illegitimate one, of Simón José Antonio de la Santísima Trinidad Bolívar Palacios Ponte y Blanco and a brothel whore who, incidentally, was the maternal ancestor of Eva Peron."

I think, though, some are starting to catch on.

    hahaha. Thanks for helping me fill in the blanks of my lineage.
    I live in Cumaná and taught at UDO (Universidad de Oriente). In 21 years I ended up teaching almost every course in the whole program, but my are of specialization was American Literature. I also taught History and Composition (possible equivalent to Eng 101).
