Anecdota:
Ocurrió en Texas mientras era presentador de noticias para una cadena nacional. Estaba tan inmerso en la traducción de una noticia que olvidé por completo mirar el reloj. La alarma sonó y llegué faltando 3 segundos para el inicio del informativo. La falta de aire era evidente pero afortunadamente no pasó de ser un buen susto. Por supuesto que no respiré con tranquilidad hasta que me dijeron que no sería despedido por ese descuido. Pasatiempos: Todo lo relacionado con computadoras.
