The scene:
We are in my brother’s kitchen prepping lasagna for family dinner and game night with our mama.  Aaron is a damn fine chef.  I watch him work while I eat his entire jar of jelly beans - childhood redux.  Hah!  We just started all hanging as a family again in the last few months - since we all got our priorities straight and made being together #1.  We cook together and play either Golf, a card game, or Bones, dominoes.  I played Bones with him once and got so destroyed I have forbidden it henceforth ;)  These are some of the favorite moments of my entire life.  Join us in the heart of my brother's home!

A taste:
“I don’t think I could do a 9-5 to be honest with you - just be in the same office daily.  Or like a car salesman - just walk the same old fuckin’ 3 lots every day of your life.  I’m just not that kinda guy.  I need to move.”

“I want to just hug everybody.  That’s who I am.  ‘Hey stranger!  Get over here you motherfucker!’  […]  I hug with my heart, it’s not just my arms.”

Favorite saying(s):
“Ain’t nobody got time fa dat!”
“Don’t sweat the petty stuff and don’t pet the sweaty stuff.” (that one's credit to our dad whom he hasn't spoken with in 20 years...)
