ON THAT LAST POST



My brother Matt is very handsome, very talented, and very smart. The latter in a way that schools tend to be negligent in admitting. I don't mean that to qualify his intelligence WHATSOEVER. The school system does not serve young men whom happen to be socially normal/competent/gifted as well as it should.

But to the brass tacks. How great was that line he got out? He might be really special. I know I'm biased, I really do, but then I hear him say something like that, and so what am I to think? It's sophisticated, for god's sake. Verging on world-weary.

So I know I'm biased. Even before our Dad died, I helped as much as I could to raise him. Once or twice I even stayed home from school, if our mom was really sick, to care for him. I made his bottles and changed him and sang him the "Godzilla" theme song (the one with Godzuki--and I changed the lyrics to fit him). But I think he's something special. Or at least pretty great. Pretty really great.
