TEHUANTEPEC, MEXICO: FEBRUARY 18
In Tehuantepec, political activists spray diatribes on walls. My previous post on the BBC was a diatribe. My wife, Bernadette, will be cross. She has instructed me not to write diatribes. Diatribes are boring. Prawns with garlic and chili are Bernadette's favorite dish. I ate prawns with oysters for lunch with Fernando Peto. I ate prawns in chili sauce while answering Boris Corredor's criticism of the BBC. The prawns were big and juicy and delicious.
Boris and Adela are Professors of Literature. They speak perfect English. They choose to converse with me in Spanish.
My son, Joshua, criticizes the mistakes I make in Spanish.
I make many errors. However, writing a diatribe has made me uppity.
Perhaps diatribes are good for the soul – or lower one's cholesterol level?
