I have a friend who must be the sweetest, shyest person in the world. His name is brittle and ancient (Luke),
his age modestly intermediate (forty). He is rather short and skinny, has a thin moustache and even thinner
hair on his head. Since his vision is not perfect, he wears glasses: they are small, round and frame-less.

glide by one side. If the gap is so narrow that it will not allow him to pass, Luke waits patiently until the
obstruction -- be it animate or inanimate, rational or irrational -- moves by itself. Stray dogs and cats
panic him, and in order to avoid them he constantly crosses from one side to of the road to another.

has never interrupted anybody. On the other hand, he can never manage more than two words without somebody
interrupting him. This does not seem to irritate him; in fact, he actually appears happy to have been able to
utter those two words.
wow goldMy friend Luke has been married for years. His wife is a thin, choleric, nervous woman who, as well as having
an unbearably shrill voice, strong lungs, a finely drawn nose and a viperous tongue suffers from an
uncontrollable temper and the personality of a lion tamer. Luke -- you have to wonder how -- has succeeded in
producing a child named (by his mother) Juan Manuel. He is tall, blond, intelligent, distrustful, sarcastic
and has a fringe. It is not entirely true that he only obeys his mother. However, the two of them have always
agreed that Luke has little to offer the world and therefore choose to ignore his scarce and rarely expressed
opinions.
