Have you met Rob?

This is my brother Rob. I usually mention him here in disparaging ways, but the truth is usually lost in the translation.

This is a warning to him. He is just becoming too Euro. Mind you, I've nothing against the Euro, a fine bunch of folks and pretty currency.

With in the past 2 years, he as become an international traveler, a wine connoisseur, and he even carries Euros in his pants (money, not the folks).

It is just too much. Also too much, is his addiction to the Yankees. It is unhealthy, but that is another topic. He has to be stopped.

And now he has become a world-class snowboarder, purchased a Swedish car and wears fine Italian clothes. What has happened to the beer-swilling, dirty-clothes wearing, pig-stye -living brother of mine?

Much of the blame I place on his friend (I can say that right? I mean if she is not a friend, what is she? She could be more than a friend, but at the very base of it, you can't deny she is a friend) Karen. A delightful girl from Ireland. I believe she has helped a major life-changing force overcome the slob, if you will, my brother once was.

Ok, I admit Rob 2.0 is better than Rob 1.0. He hasn't broken anything of mine since my rear windshield on the Jetta... But he paid for that, no he didn't. I do miss 1.0 every now and then. I hope 2.0 is here to stay, just quit giving my kids birthday presents in Euros...

Ian goes Punk

It, of course is my fault. You could say that about most anything. But this, this is pure genius. Yesterday, he and I were headed to get haircuts. He says, "what kind of haircut are you getting Daddy?". I give my stock answer, "mohawk". He giggles and says, "me too, we'll be twins." He is smiling ear to ear. Next comes the part where I carefully extract myself from getting said mohawk. He says, "i don't care I am getting a mohawk." I saw ok thinking Mel will never allow. She says ok.

Five minute update

Sorry, 5 is all you get today...ok at least for now. Here are the top stories from the past week: Thanksgiving. What happens when you don't see family and don't eat Turkey? Not so bad, sorry family. We had a blast watching the parade in NYC, it was a beautiful warm day. The kids and mostly Mel enjoyed the floats and balloons. We'll be back next year. You can see a slide show of the images mel took, far too many up to the right -----> Best quote at a concert, Best thing to happen to my brother in front of me, "Sir, would you buy me a beer?" -underage girl at State Radio Concert. Probably the last 18 and older show we go to. Save the security team, we were the oldest folks there... And FYI, Rob didn't buy her one, what a good guy. Then we talked about if we'll still come to these concerts if Reagan happens to go to the same one... We decided she isn't leaving the house watching some young girl crowd surf... Prickly Pear is out of the water....
