Happy Birthday, Gabo!

Birthday Greetings to Gabriel García Márquez.

Gabo is 82 today.

He repeated until his dying day that there was no one with more common sense, no stonecutter more obstinate, no manager more lucid or dangerous, than a poet.

-- Love in the Time of Cholera

i'm reading 100 years of solitude

i'm reading it as a diversion when i can't sleep at night
but also wistfully

Felizidades, G.G.M.

The kid just read it for school over the weekend.

It is quite wistful.
