And Now, A Conversation With My Brother
[The following is an e-mail exchange with my younger brother. I have three: one older, two younger. My older brother’s birthday was several days ago. Tia Maria is my father’s melodramatic, Mexican aunt who cries at the drop of a hat.]
ME:
Brother are you there? Do I have the right address? Alaska is nice. Weather's cold, but not too bad. I feel used to it already.
Got unwittingly drunk last night and spent most of today crapping and puking my guts out. it wasn't pretty. tired and drained right now, but they want to go see a movie. sun rises around 7:30 and sets about the same time. yesterday was sunny. today was cloudy and gray. yesterday, we were downtown and a moose was walking around on the sidewalk.
ok. off to the movie. tell everyone i said hello. (i don't know their e-mail addresses.)
see ya!
xoxo
love brother.
ps
tell brother I said, "happy birthday!"
MY BROTHER:
Brother,
I am very GLAD to read that you are fine and that you made it there safely!!! We are okay and I thought you would have frost bite by now!!! OOPPSSS!!!! Did not mean to JINX you but now that you will be frost bitten I hope you respond before your fingers fall off! (hahahaha):)..... OK, I will be nice and not talk any more jinxing to you over this file.
We had a cake for him and that was it on Sunday. He looks like one HOT MESS!!!! Sister-in-law said to me on Sunday that she really filed for divorce and is supposed to serve him on Wed., I think. SO...... he will probably jump off a bridge and I will tie a rock from him to my father’s foot and then OOOOOOOOPPPPSSSS!!!!! They will both be gone.!! (hahaha)
I entertain myself!!!
I am working and hope to be done so that I can go home. The heat is on in here so high that my eyes are drying out and are becoming stuck together. I dozed off 2 times and hit my head on the desk. They looked at me like O MY GOD !!! R U OK!!??
NO I am not FUCKING OK!!!!! I am getting heat exhaustion in the fall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will tell everyone that you are okay and let us know when you are coming. I wanna take pops for dinner for his anniversary. He said, and I quote, "I don't have an anniversary cause I don't have a wife!!" I said, " I don't have a mother but I SURE HAVE AN APPETITE!!" Sister said, "If you’re treatin, no wife or mother, I don't care... Your treatin? I'M eatin!"
So, maybe we can all go together. It is also the day that grandpa died so....
Sister-in-law said brother has been crying ...... I guessed he turned into TIA MARIA (hahahaha) OOHHH!!! I make myself LAUGH at work!! Okay, I gotta go cause I have a lot of work that I have to do. I think I should do it now. I started at 7:30. It is now 12:30.
C YOU BROTHER...... LOVE YOU......
Your father, mother, brother ME....
