Band of Brothers

This past weekend my brother flew into town while enjoying those delicious Midwest cookies. I titled this post "Band of Brothers" because he and I watched the entire mini-series while he was here. Whew, an amazing show. Here's one of my favorite lines from Major Richard D. Winters, "I treasure my remark to a grandson who asked, 'Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?' 'No,' I answered, 'but I served with heroes."

If you aren't moved watching the series then something is seriously wrong with you. Mike and I had done all the "Bostony" things there are to do so we just lounged and relaxed where it was warm, inside on the couch. However, we did get "oot and aboot" a bit while he was here. On Friday night a clan of us went out and managed to rack up a bill over one hundred and fifty dollars with over half being just beer. On Saturday many of us, including the crew above smashed into the backseat, went out dancing. The music was lousy so we called it an early night and the guys rallied around Arrested Development. It was fun having him here and hopefully as life pans out we'll be in the same city soon, whether that be here, there, or elsewhere.
