Nudist: People suffering from Vestiphobia… Peter Eldin.
Coral Gables, Florida (VIP-WIRE) – Today, like every Tuesday and tomorrow, Wednesday, is Mail Day. If you write to me, don’t forget to include your full name and the town or city you’re writing from. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!
I’ve counted them one by one, and there are 193 heartwarming messages I’ve received for my 97th birthday, which was on Saturday the 10th. Here’s one of them:
“Hi Juan:
Wow! I’m listening to La Bohème by Giacomo Puccini, and I realize that he died a few years before you were born. Then I started looking through history and I see that you lived at the same time as many other interesting historical figures like Ruth, Gagarin, Einstein, and so on. I love imagining things like that…
“When you read your columns, it seems like they’re written by someone who knows a lot and is probably in their forties, or at most, their fifties. Few people imagine that the person who wrote that is almost a century old. I love knowing that, because it tells me that you really know how to live, that nothing stops you, and that you keep going as if you were going to live forever. That’s what living is all about.
“Enjoy this day to the fullest and continue to enjoy all the days to come. Don’t stop writing and keep giving yourself the pleasure of it, because we, your readers, will continue to have the pleasure of reading you.
“Happy birthday! Sending you a big hug and extending it to your whole family.
“Your reader friend,
Héctor Marcano, Adelaide, Australia.”
Héctor: You touched me.
Reynaldo Quijada T. from Saint Molest, Kentucky, asks: “How many World Series has each team won?”
Dear friend Rey: Before, there were other Series. This is from 1903.

Nudista: Enfermo de ropastrofobia… Peter Eldin.
Coral Gables, Florida (VIP-WIRE) – Hoy, como todos los martes y mañana miércoles, es Día del Correo. Si me escribes, no olvides enviar tu nombre completo y la población o ciudad desde donde lo haces. ¡GRAAAAAACIAS!
Los he contado uno a uno, y son 193 los emocionantes mensajes que me han enviado con motivo de mi cumpleaños 97, el sábado 10. Este es uno de esos:
“Hola Juan:
¡Wow!, estoy escuchando La Boheme de Giacomo Puccini, y caigo en cuenta de que él murió unos pocos años antes de que tú nacieras. Luego empecé a pasar la historia y veo que has vivido al mismo tiempo que muchos otros personajes interesantes de la historia como Ruth, Gagarin, Einstein y pare usted de contar. Me encanta imaginar esas cosas…
“Cuando uno lee tus columnas, pareciera que las escribe alguien que sabe mucho y que debe andar por sus cuarenta, o cuando mucho, por sus 50. Pocos imaginan que quien escribió eso tiene casi un siglo de vida. Me encanta saberlo, porque me dice que tú sí sabes cómo vivir, que nada te detiene y que sigues adelante como si fueras a vivir para siempre. Eso es vivir.
“Disfruta mucho este día y sigue disfrutando mucho todos los que vienen. No pares de escribir y sigue dándote el gusto de hacerlo, que nosotros tus lectores seguiremos dándonos el gusto de leerte.
“Feliz cumpleaños, recibe un fuerte abrazo y hazlo extensivo a toda tu familia.
“Tu lector amigo,
Héctor Marcano, Adelaide, Australia”.
Héctor: me emocionaste.
Reynaldo Quijada T. de Saint Molest, Kentucky, pregunta: “¿Cuántas Series Mundiales ha ganado cada equipo?”
Amigo Rey: Antes, hubo otras Series. Esto es desde 1903.
Yankees, 27-14; Cardenales, 11-8; Dodgers, 9-14; Atléticos, 9-6; Medias Rojas, 9-5; Gigantes 8-13; Rojos, 5-4; Piratas, 5-2; Tigres, 4-7; Bravos, 4-6; Cachorros, 3-8; Orioles, 3-4; Twins, 3-3; Medias Blancas, 3-2; Phillies, 2-5; Indios, 2-4; Mets, 2-2; Royals, 2-2; Blue Jays, 2-1; Marlins, 2-0; Astros, 2-2; Rangers, 1-2; Diamondbacks, 1-1; Angelinos, 1-0; Nationals, 1-1; Padres, 0-2; Rays, 0-2; Cerveceros, 0-1; Rockies, 0-1; Marineros, 0-0.
