I live in Bagé, on the southern Brazilian border (sixty kilometers from the border with Uruguay). I am married to Clara Zeni Camargo Dornelles (University Teacher and Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics). Life to me seems to pass kind of slowly, and maybe it is because of that that I am not in a hurry. Or is it the other way around? I mean, I am not in a hurry because things seem to pass kind of slowly, is it?
