Ever since I was a kid growing up in Ogden Utah back in the early 80's, I've been fascinated by the Spanish bullfight. I even searched out books on bullfighting at the Weber County library, where I found and read "Death in the Afternoon" by Ernest Hemingway. I'm probably the only kid in Utah to have ever read that book. Now here we are 40 years later and I still enjoy learning about and keeping up with the bullfights.

4 years since the death of Iván Fandiño

En la VIDA y en el TOREO nunca sabrás cuando será tu última tarde.
Hoy se cumplen cuatro años de la muerte en el hospital de Mont de Marsan del diestro de Orduña Iván Fandiño, herido mortalmente en la plaza francesa de Aire sur L'Adour por el toro "Provechito" de Baltasar Ibán.
Es cierto, un toro le quitó la vida, la gloria jamás.
