You're so old

This blog thinks in Eastern Standard Time, because I made my previous post at 9:40pm last night. So only now, at 4:10am PST, can I wish my brother a Happy Birthday!!!

As James's tens digit reluctantly rolls over, I realize this year that the age difference between us has become insurmountably huge. It seems all he talks about these days are hair loss and his arthritis, whereas I try to steer our conversations towards video games and dessert. Will we ever be able to communicate again?
