Welcome Home, Loser

I got home Friday night without much hullabaloo. If you want more info on the trip, see Slim's post on the subject. I got home about 11, chatted with my fam, and my bro Mark, recently home from his first semester at Crown College. Then I got down to the business most essential to a college student home on break—sleep.

When my mom woke me up after noon for breakfast, I enjoyed home cooking again and got busy being lazy for a while. Mark eventually got off work and we went out with some friends for some fellowship at Perkins followed by a rousing couple of games of bowling. I started the night off with a strike. Somewhere in the back of my mind I heard a voice gently suggesting I feign sickness in order to end the game while I was winning. I don't take suggestions very well.

Two games later, I was still in second place for the night. I finished only 159 pins behind Mark. At least I beat the girls who couldn't walk straight or throw the ball more than five miles an hour. I was home. Back to where I am loved even when I lose. Sure, that's true at school too, but it fits better as a definition for home than for a definition of school. Christmas break is beginning again.

sorry about taking the post idea; lets say I owed you one?? I dunno. I'm sure I missed something, you could just as easily added to.

And when you say your brother Mark, am I missing something? Are you talking about your unofficial brother-in-law? That's the only thing I can figure.

Slim, let me clarify. When I say bro, i mean it the way black people mean it. I think it's more meaningful that way.
