Ode to David

Cosmic bowling was a huge success, my brother is a rockstar. Even when we were kids he had the Midas touch. Anything he picks up turns to gold; bowling balls, tennis rackets, and pool cues. The kid is amazing.

On the way to his birthday brouhaha, the kid held court on conversations ranging from compression and cam shaft configurations (which for the record I was able to chime in on and make several notable points) and algorithms for calculating the day Easter will fall on each year.

I'm so proud of my baby brother. He is incredibly smart and profoundly well rounded. He loves sports, computers, cars. And he's not a nerd about any of those things. He's a very understated individual, he doesn't flaunt his stuff, you'd never know this kid was a boy genius (especially not with the medicine ball sized hole in the butt of his jeans).

Happy Birthday, David. May the next year be richer then you could imagine.

I love being home...

So just to update you... I have slept and ate, and slept and ate. I saw by cousin's baby... aww she's cute. I ate lunch with my grandmother, she's cute too. We are going bowling tonight with the fam. Should be very exciting. Then I'll probably eat and sleep. I went to the Prayer Furnace in Chicago, saw one of my dearest friends in the whole world, James, who has a wife and baby of his own. I saw a lot of other people I haven't seen in awhile. It's great to see the House of Prayer in the City doing so well. I love Marvin and Sally and their family. They are such a blessing to the city.

Alright so off I am to cosmic bowl...
