Alexander Bewick comes out of the closet!

Our colleague and friend Alexander Bewick has decided to make a public confession about his condition. On his blog, The Alexander Bewick Soap Box, he admits to not having been who he is for some forty-five years - he also promises to write more. We at CampoPulse and JimenaPulse are happy to support Alexander in his decision and look forward to his sometimes acid comments on things as they are, or could be or should be, in the world. In case anyone wonders, Bewick writes mostly about Spain, a country he obviously loves and has known since 1968. Not unlike our very own Prospero... (From whom a note: We do know what 'coming out' means, but is there a tongue in cheek around here, monkeys?)
