Bro

I had some good news over the weekend. My older brother is coming to town in July. We meet up every few years and its always good to yak about politics and conspiracy theories with someone who agrees with me. Seems like Dad did a good job implanting his ideas into both our heads. Bro is a bit more paranoid than me so that adds to teh game.

He moved away about 7 or so years ago. I miss him. We catch up too infrequently by phone but its not the same. I have went over to see him once and this upcoming trip will be his 2nd return.

I think he is a bit down on himself. I think he thinks too lowly of himself. You see he made a very definitive lifestyle choice. He left full time work, his wife and most of his kids to live a more bohemian existence.

I remember the first time I saw him after he left. He had lost a fair bit of excess weight and looked fit and healthy. I find that I admire his courage for taking the plunge and giving up the suburban dream.

So for all my success I dream of a simple life. I guess I must be happy?
