Blow Out The Candles
On December 1, 1993 Escobar celebrated his 44th birthday with a joint, a birthday cake and wine. He took the luxury of speaking on the phone with his family for longer that day. Pablo in general started violating his own rules for call length. His loneliness was getting to him and the call times allowed for Search Bloc to start zeroing in on his location. He woke up the next day around noon and called his wife to tell her he had a killer hangover. He then poured himself into a bowl of spaghetti. Pablo gained over 20 pounds during his time on the run because being on the run is kind of a misnomer. He mostly sat and slept and occassionally hired young prostitutes for company. Running was low on his list of priorities.
