My Brother Does Snitch
Posted by Hal
Just noticed my brother isn’t where he’s supposed to me. He’s moved from his office to somewhere in the King and Adelaide area. What’s he doing down there? He’s just joined a gym and apparently he’s pretty obsessed with it, so maybe that’s where his gym is? Anyway, gotta find out. Yes, I’m tracking my brother via the GPS Snitch Blip program which lets people with GPS enabled Blackberrys share their location and track each other. He is also tracking me on his Blackberry and online, following me as I move around with the Snitch. He was very curious what I was doing at the Moss Park Armory for two hours yesterday. I didn’t want to tell him, but finally admitted I was playing hockey. If anyone else wants to follow me, get in touch via email and I’ll set you up.
Speaking of my brother, a few people have asked about how things are between us after my post about refusing to go to his house because he refuses to go to mine. Before I give an update on that, I’d like to just note that it’s really interesting because the people who asked me if I was still squabbling with my brother were friends/acquaintances with which I would never discuss my relationship with my brother normally. But since they read the blog, they are privy to the info and I guess they felt there was nothing wrong with bringing it up face to face, since I’d already shared on the subject. These are the kind of weird things you notice when you blog about your personal life.
Now for the brother update: on Sunday I’m supposed to go canoeing with him and his 3 kids. I’ll have to drop by his house to transfer to the mini-van, but even if I go inside for a minute, it doesn’t count. The cold war continues. Other than that, our relationship is pretty much the same as always. We only actively fight every month or so, which isn’t that much when you consider we talk on the phone almost every day. The house thing is a power struggle that has to do with how he tries to dictate everything about how, when and where our family gets together, which I find really annoying. Anyway, I know he’s reading this, he eventually got around to leaving a passive aggressive comment the first time I blogged about it. So we’ll see what he has to say. In the meantime, E.‘s 3rd birthday is coming up and this year we’re gonna have a family gathering. Guess where it’ll be? Yeah, you got it. My place.
