No Bounds
I have just found out from a very reliable source that the person taking care of my dog in Argentina complained about having to do it on an almost daily basis. The source also said that a dog activist called to ask why my dog was left alone most of the day. I wish I had known about this in t... Read more ...

Him
She saw him and became the 18 year old girl she had been long ago. Her heart stopped. She couldn’t have moved even if she had wanted to. She stared at his soft brown hair and his fair skin. Still good looking, she thought. She shook her head. But you are not that girl now, she scolded herself. T... Read more ...

Argentina’s Dirty War
Argentina ’s Dirty War I have read in the paper that Reynoldo Bignone, the military president of Argentina from July 1982 to December 1983, has been sent to jail for all the crimes he committed during the Dirty War in Argentina in the 1970s. He sent people to be tortured and killed. I thin... Read more ...

Sexual Abuse in the Church
Sexual Abuse in the Church It seems funny to me that when I fell in love with a priest years ago, a big deal was made of it.

Subway Death
I think about the woman killed at the 77th Street subway in Manhattan the other day (last Thursday) as she tried to retrieve the bag that fell on the tracks.

Argentina's New Crisis

Presidenta Kirchner fired the President of the Central Bank because he would not release funs (billions of dollars) that she wanted hi... Read more ...

December 22
Today would have been my mother’s birthday. My mother, whose theme song was the beautiful tango Malena sung by a 1940s singer named Fiorentino. And who lost her mother, her best friend, in March 1940 and never got over her death. My grandmother Ana became a single mother at 31 after my grandfath... Read more ...

Chiquito's Resting Place
Thursday, December 17, 2009: A year ago today, Chiquito, my aristocratic dog, was buried in the garden of the vet's brother's house in Francisco Solano. Francisco Solano is in the province of Buenos Aires. If there something that I regret it is this: I was not with my dog during the last days of... Read more ...

One Year
One year ago tomorrow (the 15th of December fell on a Monday), I made frantic phone calls to Argentina. The first phone call, from a pay phone outside the NY public library on 58th between Park and Lexington, informed me that Chiquito was very ill. He had anemia and the vet was doing all he coul...
