I was born on November 18, 1956, in Medellín, at 6:20 in the morning.

Although my mother can't quite remember whether it was morning or night. What a thing to forget! There go all my astrological calculations! I was born in the clinic my father owned in the El Prado neighborhood, which, by a coincidence I still haven't managed to decipher, was called Clínica de los Ángeles.
