*** Welcome Home Bro! ***

My brother doesn't even read this post. I doubt he has any interest in his boring big sis now he is an international playboy, he never did think I was all that cool.

In fact I was always an embarassment to him, never went to the coolest places, certainly never had the coolest friends. If I recall, by far, the best insult I ever heard uttered by my grumpy bugger of a brother was "God, you're such a groupie for the underdog!". (This aimed at my insistence that all minorities deserved equal rights - homosexuals, lesbians, badgers, goats and hysterical, toothless Middle Easten European women - how naive am I!) - to this day I swear if I ever get round to writing that novel, that will be the title.

One day I finally saw some sort of respect for me twinkle in his eye when he asked me to name as many Robert De Niro films as I could. 20+ with bells on, dear brother - "Not too bad for a girl".

Love you bro.
