Poeira de 16 de Abril (a partir de uma ideia emprestada do Abrupto)

Hoje, há vinte e três anos, fui sair à noite com uma senhora, tomar um copo a um bar chamado Mosaico, que provavelmente até já não existe.

Pelo caminho ainda ficou um equívoco que rondou um jantar — ou a ausência dele — e um prato da cozinha italiana que viria, mais tarde, a tornar-se muito popular.

Faz hoje vinte e três anos que estou casado.

"In North America the black bear was seen by [Samuel] Hearne swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water. Even in so extreme a case as this, if the supply of insects were constant, and if better adapted competitors did not already exist in the country, I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale."
