Husbands can surprise us — they usually do. At least, mine usually does. The surprises are (almost) always enjoyable. And this instance, which has inspired this particular post, is not one of the exceptions.
A few months ago, Roberto decided to start a blog. He posted his picture, and that was that. Nothing more happened for quite a while. Not a peep.
But then, a few weeks ago, he started writing. Of course, he neglected to mention it to his wife, so I was a little slow on the uptake. I made my way over to his blog yesterday morning. And there it was, a beautiful surprise. My husband is an artist in every sense of the word. That was not the surprise. The surprise was how poetically and succinctly he is able to capture the spirit of whatever it is he’s writing. He is a very decent writer indeed. I had a hunch, but I never really knew — in fact, I’m not sure he really knew.
Check it out for yourselves. Roberto’s blog, Artes y Pedazos, is in Spanish. Now you can practice.
