The last two months have been some of the awesomest (that’s word now) of I’ve had since moving here. My brother Lyle arrived here at the beginning of June in order to get his career rolling in the field of climate change and environmental impacts. Now, at the first of August, he’s already moving out; having found an excellent job here in the City and now a great place in North Beach to call home. My giant bedroom won’t be the same with out him.
We’ve been able to have mad awesome barbecues since he’s come here, late nights playing pool across the street, and morning coffees at 901 Cafe that lasted ages longer than predicted. The thing is, I had so much fun having him here with us. Beyond that, to be with a guy while he’s making the steep ascent into what he’s meant to become in life is…well, inspiring. To see that sort of rare thing happen in someone you love so much is the precious beauty of being alive. It’s exciting, exhilarating and unforgettable.
On the one hand, I’m going to miss my brother when he’s gone, but he’s not really gone. Lyle got a place here in North Beach only four short blocks away, so I’m sure he’ll be around all too often. Scha-weet! Many more BBQ’s and late night dollar-fifty drafts in store. We’re already planning another beach weekend in September, with the intention that he’ll come along. Now, if he can just find a date for it.
