Rafael plays a 2004 Gibson SG Standard, bodyboards in Puerto Rican waves, stubbornly destroys his knees jogging every other day, ponders patently useless questions with benign zeal and struggles daily with being good, right and just. When not occupied in these most urgent matters, Rafael has used his free time to study social theory, Law and be admitted to the Puerto Rico Bar. He has also used a bit of this free time to teach an assortment of social science courses in the University of Puerto Rico, although he feels self conscious about being “too lawyerly” for his social theorist colleagues, and too “philosophical” for the local lawyers. He has worked on this by training to become a quite clever and opportunistic fence jumper. He currently assists Ian and is *this* close to finishing an LL.M. under his wise, challenging and caring tutelage, for which Rafael is eternally grateful.
