Day 291: Brother

My oldest brother is in town for a cop convention (not really called that, but that is essentially what it is) so he got a hold of me and we went out for dinner and a bat viewing. He was all psyched for the bats but the showing was kind of lackluster with the creatures not coming out till it was a bit too dark to see them well. We were also watching them from the grassy area along side the bridge they come out from under and it wasn't as impressive of a sight as I would have thought. What I did think, rather, since it was my idea to watch from there rather than the bridge.

I don't know what he thought of it in the end, but we were both hungry so we went to Chuys as I had yet to go there and he had never heard of it. He allowed me to get whatever I wanted but I didn't go overboard, just some veggie enchiladas, though I did try one of their margaritas (mango and lime swirl). One of the best things about this guy is that he can keep up a conversation like a mofo. The dude is never lacking in the story department and always has back up questions and inquires to keep things interesting.

Of course, being that we are of the same elongated and complex family, we ended up talking a lot about the members of said family and sharing our views of past events. Interesting how perceptions can differ, how people can be one thing for someone and another for someone else. It's a good thing to keep in mind when dealing with characters, but something you must never forget when dealing with family.
