Diogenes
My blogs are 100% truthful, I’m not sure my memoirs would be, especially not when it comes to my youth. “I was born on the poop deck of a Panamanian freighter during a storm rounding Cape Horn. My Mother had stolen the place of the portly ship’s doctor, locking him in a Santiago dockside toilet, but my early arrival revealed her deception, granting me triple-nationality, but denying me the US passport she had set her heart on for me. Whether we’d have been admitted to America remains doubtful, given Mother’s record. As it was, we were rudely cast off at Beunos Aires and I spent my first few years as an Argentinian street urchin. After that, things started getting exciting.” |

(Of course, a ship travelling from Santiago to an America wouldn’t round the horn, it would go to a west coast port, or through the Panama Canal... I’ll start again)
