Sharing a Birdcage

So brother dearest was just in town for the past week, gracing us with his effervescent self and sleeping on our couch while interviewing in Boston.  It was a nice taste of things to come if he does, in fact, make his way to this fine city.  It has been 14 years since the two of us have lived in the same zip code and it makes you realize how nice it is to have family around.  In just a weeks time he managed to impress and disgust me all at once. It was just like the good old days.  He changed a light bulb. He broke the shower curtain. He took out the trash countless times. He wore the same jeans 8 days in a row.  He helped with dinner. He spilled chewing tobacco on my leather car seats. Such a dependable ebb and flow of brotherly charm. I found it quite comforting.  One of the nice things to discover was that while living apart, we actually enjoy a lot of the same television shows. Jersey Shore and Modern family played on repeat throughout the week and he even let me sneak in a few episodes of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.  We ended our lovely week with a night on the town.  A solid mixture of debauchery and surprises, but all in all a nice finale to what was a great week.  We will keep you posted on the potential reunion of Pete and The Bird.  This could get really interesting....
