This picture was taken back in the early 90s. I'm not sure where it was taken, but it was Tyler's friend, Mike, who pulled it from the archives. I think it's cool in a 'I look like a young Harry Connick Jr.' kind of way. I'm not too keen on the cigarette in his hand, but I too was a smoker, once upon a time. It's not a very attractive habit, but highly addictive. I digress...I didn't come here to talk about the dangers of smoking and I'm not after the Surgeon General's job.
I don't have anything in particular to say tonight. I really just wanted to share this photo. I miss my baby brother. Today I was thinking about how sad I am that he won't get to experience 2009. I think it will be a year full of possibilities for me, and I hate that I won't be able to share the joys and the frustrations with him. I'm sad that he won't be turning 37 on January 21st. He will forever be 36 in my mind. I won't get to see him get married, have children and grow old gracefully. I know I will want to do something that day to celebrate his life and I hope somehow, on some level, he will be a witness to that.
Peace and love, brother of mine.

That picture was taken in the basement of the Geist house. He's sitting on the pool table. It was either 1989 or 1990. I can't believe we got away with smoking in the house! ;)
