 Hello, dear readers,

May I insist once more. Please, drop me a line or two.

Good night

Good morning.

Dear and patient readers from so many different places. 

First thing I do on a daily basis is checking the stats of this blog. 

A pleasure indeed it is to see so many visitors interested in this blog. Well, it is time to return the favour and write more often.

Inspired on Albino Luciani who wrote letters to historical characters like Dante, Da Vinci and Goethe, I write  letters to be read in the future. 

So it is that in 1982 I began to write a letter to my eldest son whose dob is October 13, 1979. A letter to be to him delivered on his twenty first birthday, so it happened in 2000.

 A long letter it was, 102 pages. I wrote to my son in the future, telling him about his achievements as he grew. Telling him some things about me. I recall when I was 45, in 1995,I told him how much I earned at work, in easily comparable terms such as of how many kilograms of bread, cheese, ham, meat. Liters of milk, gasoline, coke could be acquired . So he could figure out if at that age  his income was more or less than mine.

Well, it happens that while these lines I write for you a great idea has surfaced in my mind, to write for him a letter for his sixty sixth birthday.


 Same thing will be done for my second and third child, 1986 and 1987.

Letters then to be delivered in 2044, 2051 and 2052. My grandchildren are elegible as well, their years of birth are 2013, 2014 and 2016. 

Quite some writing ahead, with my Parker 51 pen with green ink. 

To you I owe this iniative, my gratitude.

Fare thee well.
