Fun things about having bigbro crash with me last night

5. Getting back from the gym just as he got to the dorm, and having a cigarette outside while still in my sweaty gym clothes. Nothing like nicotine to enhance the exercise endorphins!

4. Calling our dad, who is crashing at bigbro's and J1's place in NoCal while they are away, and hearing him say, "Well, I ate the rest of the soup. And the rice. And some crackers. And cookies. And the rest of the pizza. Um, your pantry will be pretty tidy when you get back."

3. bigbro sharing a text from J1 that said: "Your son pooped three times in three minutes."

2. Sitting in a bar where a Wine for Dummies book was lying on the back counter, bigbro sharing the following story: "When [my company] was starting out, we had a copy of Consulting for Dummies sitting out on a bookshelf in the office. Our CEO walked in and said, 'You know, it's probably not good for clients to see that' and we put the book away," and, 30 seconds later, watching the bartender pick up the Wine for Dummies book and put it away in a back room.

1: Showing bigbro a picture of Sweet, Smart Scientist, which elicited this comment: "He's cute! Hey, he might be a keeper!" (And after my uproarious laughter: "What, I can't appreciate a cute guy when I see one?")
