Sisterly pride :-)

A few days I posted something in my other blog about blackouts and my brother. When there is a blackout here I wish I could call him and ask him what's up. Back in Guate we're always updated on energy issues because Enano works in the sector. It always amazes me how my little brother can explain the ins and outs of hydro power and then, without missing a beat, launch into a series of silly jokes and commentaries that have us all rolling our eyes and rolling with laughter.

So I admitted the other day that I was certainly biased when it came to my brother and his super-hydro-powers, and I'm sure I am. Still, I can't resist sharing good news when I have them...

Little brother got appointed president of the national energy commission last week. He's always so serious and formal when he talks to the media that Marcela and I cannot help teasing him about him. She called me to tell me the news last week, and after laughing for a few minutes imagining unlikely outcomes of the appointing ceremony, I called him to congratulate him. I let go some tried and true lines and got a bit disappointed when he didn't reply in his usual prankster mode. Turned out he was meeting with the minister (it was 7 am!! how was I supposed to know they had meetings that early?) so he had good reasons not to comment too extensively. My mom later made sure that I learned all the details of the day (my parents were invited to the ceremony).

I've been searching all Guate papers for pics of Enano, but so far, no luck. Will post soon, I hope.
