fire
last week, my brother Middlebro (who you all learned to loathe during november’s blatantly bad 70s music fest), lost his home to a fire which started in a neighbor’s home and spread to his.
and no, not this kind:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VF25KEloF5ghe is in the throes of listing all his belongings for the insurance company and looking for a new place to live while they rebuild the condo. all the while, he has had a fantastic attitude about the whole thing. i mean, it has got to be a colossal pain in the ass to completely take all your worldy possessions and figure out plan B. all in a day.
if it were me, i’d probably still be half-way through some ben and jerry’s.
in short, i’m impressed. (even in spite of the fact that he’s politically to the right of attila the hun. )
[sorry i’m not funny today. i will discover my funny bone later this week. i hope.]
