Day 64 (10/28 - Wed)

My brother Aaron is in town right now because of mandatory training sessions (which he calls monumental waste of time and resources, since he already knows how to do his job). The side benefit is that we had the opportunity to see each other, so I headed downtown tonight to meet up with and catch some dinner on the town!

We found a nice Thai restaurant close to his hotel, and we had some fun sharing stories and in general being brothers. At one point it struck me that something altogether new and noteworthy was taking place: although we have known each other our whole lives (well, at least all of my life, and all but three of his years) and although we hang out on a regular basis when I'm in St. Louis or wherever, it has almost always been a situation of domesticity of some sort, at somebody's house. This was, I think, the first time we had ever met in a neutral location, at the end of the business day, both of us meeting up after working at our professional jobs, two brothers both in their 30's, and meeting up in the active, thriving downtown of a very large American city to boot.



Gosh, the whole thing was ... well, so adult-ish. What am I turning into? A responsible, employed adult? Well, it had to happen someday. Getting older can be kind of cool sometimes.
