Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 6 (March 28, 2016)
Our ethical, dedicated, handsome and hopelessly in love Dr. Carlos, is on the horns of a well-calculated, well-timed dilemma, not of his own making. With the announcement of the (fake) pregnancy of his very recently ex-girlfriend, he has various outcomes staring at him.
1) There is a baby. He doesn't want to give up Fernanda, but his mother and Isabela are ready to take over the management of his relationships. Fernanda breaks up with him because she believes he must "do the right thing" by the baby. There will be wedding bells in his not too distant future.
2) There is a baby. He just can't give up Fernanda. He defies his mother. He begs Fernanda not to break up with him. They love each other madly, deeply. He is certain they can work this out and still be together. She agrees to stand by him.
3) There is no baby. He will try desperately to prove its non-existence. He begs Fernanda not to break up with him until there is solid proof, one way or another. If there is no baby, he won't have to give up Fernanda and his mother, Marissa, will finally be convinced Isabela wasn't right for him, or for her.
With time, 1 & 2 will be eliminated, but this week, he doesn't know that. Isabela says she doesn't expect anything of him (and that is as fake as the pregnancy). Marissa wants a wedding as soon as possible--with Isabela, of course, and to end his relationship with Fernanda, of course.
What will he do? How does he tell Fernanda? What does he tell Fernanda? What is the right thing to do?
This is not the CAMINO we wanted to take, but we will have to follow along and see where it goes. Tune in and see (7 pm).

Another of your blog mom's projects: tshirts of a little guy in a stovepipe hat
I love old pop culture. I've been bringing back to life Samuel Zagat's early 20th century comic strip called "Gimpel Beynish the Matchmaker." Gimpel was wildly beloved by the people of New York City's Lower East Side. Gimpel, that shlemiel, seldom succeeded in anything he did, yet he never got discouraged and his self-esteem was unimpaired. That must have been very heartening for folks struggling to make a buck.
You can see the comics as I clean them up and translate them, here: GimpelBeynish.com and also see two books of his comics which I've published.
Wondering if Gimpel could be loved by the modern world too, I just make a couple Gimpel tshirts. They are only $14.99. Click on either picture to see more colors and styles...

2. Gimpel visits the high seas during World War I, falls in the ocean and is rescued by a submarine. Here is is looking through the periscope!

Thanks!

Sueño de amor #12 3/23/16
In Ricardo's classroom, he is telling Pámela that after class they will be going to the principal's office to talk about her gluing him to the chair.
Félix makes a point of stopping by Esperanza's room to talk to her. He recognizes her as the one who made the recording of Silvana. He lets her know he is there to supervise Silvana but also tells her he is all about following the rules. Nobody is above the rules. Salma records it all. Silvana spies from the back of the room.
At Ernesto's office he is telling his investigator that he needs him to find out exactly who this Ricardo is; to use all of his contacts. Ricardo knows all about self defense. There has to be more. Viviana comes in wanting to talk about their son Adrián. She cannot get him to come home because he is afraid of Ernesto. They end up arguing as usual. She blames him. He blames her for babying him. For Viviana, the worst part is that her son is with her "rival". Hearing "rival" just makes Ernesto snicker and smirk.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #11. Tuesday March 22, 2016. Don't Kiss Me, Marcel Marceau! They Will Cyberbully Me And Glue Your Pompis To A Chair!
The mime bit took me by surprise and, I won’t lie to you, I did yell out an involuntary "What in the...?". However, after the initial shock, I was really charmed, not just by Ricardo’s performance but also by Esperanza’s reaction to it. This actress has won me over and, as much as I love Cristián de la Fuente, I must admit that his co-protagonist is now the main reason I tune in.
Viviana confesses to Luca that she is still in love with Ernesto despite their long-term estrangement.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #10. Monday March 21, 2016. Secrets To Be Unveiled And Pairings To Be Unpaired.
-- Luca and Pato are separating. Thank you, Jesus!
We get a repeat of the restaurant scene where Pedro asks Ricardo for the reason of his two-decade-long disappearing act. Before he can answer, we’re teleported to the constructora. Outside, the Three Stooges attempt to dodge security to help Nacho talk to his wife, Begoña; and inside, Ernesto instructs Arleth to find out who the owner of Instituto Palacios is. He also asks her to contact Murillo from business intelligence for more in-depth information on Ricardo.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 5 (Mar 21, 2016)
Luis Montero--The man with a plan
- Amelia Altamirano del Alamo de Perez, younger daughter of rich rancher, Fernando Altamirano. She fell in love with Luis (older, but contemporary in age), sometime after finishing her prepa 19 years ago. They had at least one encounter al aire fresco and she ended up pregnant. He left her in the lurch, saying neither she nor the bebe were in his plans for the future. She pined for him for the next 19 years while married to Pedro, the Altamirano estate gardener (whom she had treated as an older brother to have fun with), who saved her from the disgrace of having a bastard child. Although always his favorite, her father kicked them out of the house anyway.
- Mariana Altamirano del Alamo de Sotomayor, older daughter of Fernando. She's Amelia's envious sister, primarily because she was not the favored child. She fell in love with Luis, probably from seeing him with Amelia. He never showed any interest in her. Her father later forced her into a convenient, but loveless marriage to a rich (but ambitious) widower, Hernan. He has a daughter, Camila, from his first marriage. Mariana doesn't like her around. The couple is childless. Her interest in and immediate obsession with Luis is rekindled by a visit to his law offices with her father. She claims she's been in love with him for over 19 years. He is not interested in her amorous advances, but makes nice because she has information on Amelia he wants.
- Marissa Gomez Ruiz de Montero, widowed rich bank president, considerably older than Luis. She seduced him into marriage 19 years ago by offering him a trip to Europe with her and her then 10-year old son, Carlos, to live and study to become a lawyer. He accepts without hesitation--it was his plan. She is now cognizant of her age and is afraid to lose him to a younger woman. She's still in love with this jerk. He has cooled to Marissa's bedroom advances. (P.S. Her son, Carlos, hates him.)
- Andrea, leggy, young, blonde assistant to Isabela, the owner of a beauty/spa academy. Where she met Luis is not clear, but she fell in love with him and is blind as to what he is really like. He, on the other hand, knowing where his pocket change comes from, uses her for some afternoon delight and either thanks her or argues with her on the way out of the bedroom. She has decided that getting pregnant would be the ideal way to get him to leave his wife. So far, we've only been privy to one jealous temper tantrum from her when she caught him in his office with Mariana hanging all over him and looking like a kiss was happening.
