Patricio Medrano Barrena alias...

Pato, Poncio, Pilatos, Puertos, Buba, Cuack… amigo de siempre, de esos que la vida te pone cuando la voz es todavía chillona e infantil. Con el Pato me he descubierto más de muchas ocasiones, contándole mis penas, mis amoríos, mis lecciones, mis proyectos, mis errores, mis dolencias, mis miedos.

Compañero desde aquellos años mozos de la secundaria y preparatoria, donde bajo el cobijo de la cabañita del árbol ubicada en el jardín de su casa y a lado de otros dos grandes, Miguel y Edgar, nos bebíamos nuestras primeras chelas, los primeros vinos tintos y blancos, según fueran las compras de abastecimiento de la cava que Pepe Medrano (papá del pato) había efectuado, y a quien, con hostil actitud de adolescentes, le robábamos los vinitos y de paso unos mejillones, patés de higado de cerdo, jamones, quesos, para acabar con totopitos con frijoles cocinados por Miguel.

También le damos mate al verde, ganándonos a pulso las peores resacas que mi memoria a pesar de los años, no ha podido borrar. Casi cumplía los dieciocho, cuando mis tres amigos y yo, nos veíamos en Puerto Vallarta realizando nuestro primer y a la fecha único viaje efectuado por los cuatro juntos y del que sin duda alguna, quedaron muchas huellas en el corazón. Dicen que recordar es vivir y eso es justamente lo que hago al momento de escribir esto.

Patricio, siempre ha sabido amalgamar la fiesta y la diversión, pensante, objetivo, puntual, sarcástico, en extremo inteligente. Antes de dar un paso, mide los terrenos, recorre las consecuencias, analiza las opciones, optimiza los costos; se aleja del bullicio y de la “gente” que le estorba. Amigo de muy pocos, hermano mío.

Un día, de repente, sin darnos cuenta, me pidió que le acompañara porque iba a comprar un regalo para América, nada menos que el anillo de compromiso. Luego, me los encontré en el altar, dispuestos a jurarse amor eterno, sonrientes, nerviosos y todavía recuerdo la sonrisa de ambos cuando me acerqué para entregarles las arras que se me habían encomendado. Otro día, supe que había sido tío de su primer retoño hasta ahora, Paulita.

Con Pato escuchaba anécdotas de España y las Europas, me moría de envidia de la buena por todas aquellas vivencias que habían hecho de mi compadre un amante de la buena mesa, de los manjares exquisitos como extraños. Fotografías daban cuenta de los muchos lugares recorridos por aquellos entonces desconocidos por mí y supongo que gran parte de mi afición por la gastronomía, música, literatura, cultura, españolas, se deben en gran medida a todo lo vivido en la casa Medrano.

Mi compadre, pasó por muchos deportes. Ciclismo, ping pong, natación y pesca; en cada uno de ellos siempre ha estado a la vanguardia, con los mejores accesorios para la práctica del mismo, documentado en sus reglas, historia y sobre todo, resolvía siempre los porqués de cada cosa. Seguro que las que no se sabía las inventaba convincentemente.

Coincidimos en cosas que van desde la música hasta los valores que cualquier ser humano debiese tener como fundamentales, entre ellos evidentemente, la amistad. A pesar del carácter que ambos tenemos, hemos sabido tolerarnos nuestros “modos”, Alberto Cortez lo canta mejor: “nuestras espinas más agudas”.
Gordo enorme, de actitud serena y sonrisa amable, anfitrión de lujo, inexpresivo, seco, parco, concluyente. Digo conocerle bien. Puertos, es el amigo que todo mundo quisiera tener como tal. Ahora, a la distancia, a los muchos años recorridos, a la lejanía que nos ocupa, es el mismo.
Treinta y dos veintidós de junios carga en su calendario. Treinta y dos años vividos con una solvencia moral invaluable. Con América y su hija, ha formado un hogar maravilloso cargado de amor, de dedicación, de respeto, de confianza.

Venga pues compa, un abrazo enorme, con gran cariño. Muchos años más mi hermano, muchos días más. Mucha vida, mucha patria y olé torero, un olé largo y templado, un olé redondo por la faena que a la vida le cuajas.
Que Dios reparta suerte y estas líneas van por ti.

Thanks a lot, gracias muchas por aquello de que el ingles no se te da compadre mio.
Hace un momento me dijiste que este era mi regalo, pero como bien sabes que soy un materialista compulsivo por lo que estas estupendas e invaluables lineas que surgieron de tu pluma cibernetica, no cubren la cuota, ja, ja, no es cierto, para nada, gracias por ser mi amigo y nos vemos el sabado pal festejo al alimón.

The company provides one [url=http://muachunggiatot.com/thoi-trang.html]mua chung gia re[/url] for every working day in every single of the marketplaces it serves. The Groupon performs as an assurance deal employing ThePoint's system: if a particular quantity of men and women indicator up for the give, then the deal will get to be presented to all if the predetermined small is not reached, no 1 distinct will get the offer that working day. This lowers danger for merchants, who can deal with the coupon codes as volume reductions as nicely as revenue marketing and advertising gear. Groupon assists make funds by making an attempt to hold about fifty p.c the cash the consumer pays for the coupon.

For occasion, an $eighty therapeutic therapeutic massage could be acquired by the consumer for $forty by way of Groupon, and then Groupon and the retailer would break up the $forty. That is, the retailer provides a massage valued at $eighty and receives around $twenty from Groupon for it (beneath a fifty%/fifty% break up). Or, if $240 genuinely really worth of home portray solutions is received by the consumer for $fifty by means of Groupon, then the organization receives $20 5 and Groupon retains $twenty five. The client will get the therapeutic therapeutic massage, or the home portray help, in these examples, from the retailer for which they to commence with paid out $forty (or $50) to Groupon. There are specific corporations to which Groupon at first did not provide its businesses, such as capturing ranges and strip golf equipment nonetheless, shooting ranges have been showcased on Groupon.

As opposed to categorised promoting and marketing and advertising, the merchant does not pay any upfront price to just take part: Groupon collects personal particulars from prepared customers and then contacts only individuals consumers, mostly by everyday e mail, who may possibly perhaps possibly be intrigued in a distinct product or company.

Groupon employs a massive sum of copywriters who draft descriptions for the discounts showcased by e mail and on the internet site. Groupon's promoting text for the 'deals' has been observed as a contributing issue to the track record of the web site, that includes a distinctive mix of total reality-checking and witty humor.

Owing to Groupon's marketplace becoming mainly composed of feminine consumers, the delivers are often specific on the wellness, health and fitness and splendor marketplaces.

There are prospective issues with the organization style. For illustration, a effective provide could quickly swamp a modest company with as effectively several consumers, jeopardizing a probability that customers will be dissatisfied, or that there won't be satisfactory item to satisfy the need to have. Hole, a big clothing retailer, was in a placement to deal with 445,000 coupon codes in a countrywide offer you (despite the fact that it educated server problems at 1 stage), but a more compact sized organization could turn out to be all of a unexpected flooded with purchasers. one espresso shop in Portland, Oregon struggled with an boost in buyers for a couple of months, when it provided near to one particular,000 Groupons on the 1 particular working day it was presented, in accordance to one particular certain report. In reaction to equivalent problems, Groupon officers condition that 'deal' subscriptions should be capped in advance to a reasonable quantity.
