I know, I know. But no one required much from me.

I’ve had a great visit with my brother. The closest in age to me.  
He’s still a dumbass but I enjoy him.

The downstairs party will be a poker night.  
Son-of-a-wrek always cheats. This should be entertaining.  
I’ll rest upstairs while they fight and have a good time.

So, he’s like 102? I’m sure secrets were exchanged, but no one will remember them in the morning.

Well he is younger than me.

He tried to tell me a few months ago he was older than me. Nope.  
My family doesn’t age very well. Our dementia is tryin’ at times  
It makes reunions and family events a hoot.

I don’t care. There’s a bunch of stuff I’d like to never revisit.

Please keep taking it easy and demand being waited on for a few days - until you can’t stand it any longer. Glad you’re home.
