good news

the brother's life, or at least the next year of it, is coming together.
Hooray!
I remember being in his place, trying to figure out what would happen post-graduation. My plans all fell through & I was left with a 2 week cross-country trip as my answer to the persistent "what will you be doing after you graduate?" The brother's answer to such questions is a bit more exciting, a bit more long-term, and a bit more financially lucrative.

Time to start figuring out how to go visit him.
