Yesterday, in a way too brief pass by Miami, I met Andy Freire. And while we talked, two interesting topics arised, so I will publish one today and another one next Saturday.
In our conversation, Andy mentioned an American organization called Factcheck. Factcheck is a project of the University of Pennsylvania that “aims to reduce the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics.
What they do is great.

A few days ago Martina Rua asked me if I had ever considered writing a book. You know… I had children, I planted a tree, but I don’t know who it was who said that to live a complete life you also have to write a book.
