My brother Michael is visiting from Perth while he has some time off from work.  It has been great catching up; cracking jokes having a laugh and just smiling again.  We see each other so rarely now that we live in different states; it is always great to see family.

He has also caught the poker bug and is challenging me to matches every waking moment we have.  It made me think about the evolution of our competitiveness.  From playing chasey (which turned into wrestling matches) to backyard cricket, table tennis, Mario Kart, and now, poker.  Boys will be boys, brothers will be brothers.  While I have been somewhat dominant over the years as the older brother, winning the cricket and wrestling matches, he now reminds me often how much stronger, taller and richer he has gotten while I stayed in Roxby and got fat.  What are brothers for, eh?  I already admitted in this previous post how much more of a man he is than me.  Mickus.  What a legend.  He can always – always – makes me laugh… even when he doesn’t mean to.
