My Sister

My sister's job is to deal with the press and well, to get good/bad information about people out there. Hannah's great at doing her job for other people but not so great at doing it for herself. Simply put, Hannah hasn't been mentioned on Ahoy Hanoi in months -- and well, if you want to be anyone on the internet you need your name on Ahoy Hanoi.

All of the good press as of late has gone towards my brother. Having a baby will do that. Well, I think my sister is starting to mount a campaign to get her name back out there.

Last week Hannah was at the Democratic National Convention. Every morning I would wake up to watch the speeches with the hopes of seeing Hannah in the background. When Hannah wasn't too busy bumping elbows with politicians she managed to send me an email or two. On one of the first days I commented to her that I thought Montana's Governor Schweitzer gave a great speech. Well, just a few days later Hannah sent me this email:

conversation*:

Me: Hi, Governor. My brother lives in Vietnam but he saw your speech and raved about it.

Schweitzer: He lives in Vietnam? How did he watch it?
Me: The internet I guess? Anyway, if we took a picture together I think it'd make him really jealous.

Schweitzer: Yeah? Let's do it! For your brother.

*it went something like that. The party was very loud.


Welcome back to Ahoy Hanoi, Hannah. And a big welcome to you Governor. And yes, I'm jealous.

Let's not forget about Buddy. After all he is the Deputy Mayor soon to BE Mayor. I guess political life runs in the family!
Good job Hannah. Could the White House be in your future?

Oh Hannah, I can't believe you were going to resort to a shotgun wedding, I thought you were just going to wear shapeless trapeze dresses to get publicity a la US Weekly's 'bump watch'

Hi, Ben. I read about your blog in the Tribune, so I have been reading it.

I would have started sooner if Butthead had told me about the blog.

David says, "Hi". Willie is making him crazy, but that is the way that it is supposed to be.
