Farewell Uncle Sam
on Oct 14 in General by DanMy brother Sam leaves tomorrow for his big adventure. His flight leaves at 10am bound for Singapore, and he will spend the next four weeks slowly making his way through various parts of Asia. He intends to reach Australia some time in the middle of November, at which point he will hang up his hat and declare himself home for at least the next year or so.
He came round to say goodbye this afternoon, and rather fortuitously witnessed Evan’s first steps. That’s probably a good omen in one culture or another.
If Sam were not my brother I’d say he was a witty, clever, and pleasant sort of chap to be around. As he is my brother however I’m duty bound to refer to him only as a puerile little snot rag who deserves every beating I gave him in our youth.
What I will say is make sure you follow his blog over the next few weeks. It’s already pretty great and can only get even more interesting.

Sounds like a fun trip. A snot-filled fun trip.
My brother did that some years ago.
Except he did Asia on the way back from Aus.
Me ?
I prefer Scarborough.
You know where you stand with Scarborough.
He’s headed in my direction. Cool.
Australia is a great country.
NZers and Aussies only pretend to dislike each other.
Really we dislike the English.
Only a brother would:
a. have a picture like that
b. post a picture like that
Found your blog on Egle’s Nest. I’m linkin’ baby! You are too funny, and I enjoyed the posts I read. Some day I’ll wander back into the archives and take a gander, so don’t be surprised if you find some obscure comments on old posts–I am definitely NOT a lurker! :-)

Once again – wondered where all of those hits came from.
Cheers Dan, I will try not to dissapoint….
Have safe travels Uncle Sam…I was the younger brother in my family and therefore the proverbial snot rag :)

Holy shit your brother is Moby? Tell him to put his glasses back on, I barely recognized him.
I prefer to think of myself as more of a vin diesel. However I get compared to anyone with no hair.
You know I’m actually picking up more of a John Malkovich vibe today.
