"Thanks a lot, bro"

(Little bit o' Filter lyrics there.)

Almost didn't make my deadline to post the Thursday lyrics, 'cause I got a phone call earlier from... my brother.

And no one died.

Sorry, it's just that family members only seem to call when someone's had a kid or someone's died. That's just the nature of my family. In fact, although I recognized the area code, I just assumed it was slm2u who lives in that city. Imagine my surprise (and confusion) when I couldn't recognize the voice. I almost didn't recognize the name when he said it. :p What can I say? We don't talk! As a reference point, I will tell you that the last time he and I spoke was... hmmmm... maybe last June? No, I'm sure I spoke to him around Christmas... no, I didn't, 'cause I just found out tonight that he went in for surgery on his hand in NOVEMBER. And I KNOW that would have come into conversation if I had spoken to him since then! (Typical man-child got into a fight and ripped his thumb from the joint. Nice.)

He seems to be doing well, though. Still has his job at Famous Players and is working 60-hours a week. He's assured me that he's got some money socked away. *cough* Whatever, it's his life; he's 25 years old. Anyway, boring family news that I won't get into here, but it was good (if not slightly initially alarming) to hear from him. :)
