classin' it up a bit

My brother was singing with the SF Symphony this past weekend and as is customary i made the short trip north to attend one of the performances and also spend whatever free time he had with him. it's been really nice over the past couple years having him come out to the West Coast much more often than he did during my first 7 or 8years out here. it's allowed me to see much more of him than i did those earlier years. it's allowed us to grow closer and be more of a part of each others' lives and simply know more of what's going on in each of our lives. growing up we weren't the closest but it's been nice to feel that change with time and age.

anyway...
