203 in the hizzouse

Ok, I know it’s been a while since I posted, but I’m back and I’ll try to keep up.

I’m back in New Haven for Thanksgiving. Its nice to be back in the old hood now and then –ya know, gotta rembember ya roots! Word. So let me give a shout out to all the homies from the 203 who be keepin’ it real – Kano, Liu Kang, Rayden, Johnny Cage, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Sonya… (say it with me now) MORTAL KOMBAT! Aedan, Sandy, Ben, Spencer; never loose the faith!

I think it’s worth telling a short story about brotherhood. See, I live in Seattle, and my brother Jesse is currently in Miami. We talk frequently and recently have been planning trips home for Christmas, but apparently both of us had made plans to go home for Thanksgiving as well, but never told each other!
On one of the first nights home, Jared went out to a bar and ran into Jesse, saying “dude, if Jonathan knew you were here he would have come out” implying that if I knew he were at the bar I would have come out to the bar! Jesse, not knowing I was around thought he meant if I knew he were out in New Haven I would have come out from Seattle – but found it odd since he thought I knew he had come home. After Jared got home and told me he had seen Jesse I called him early the next morning, and the following ensued:
“Hello?”
“Dude, what are you doing here?” (Meaning New Haven)
“Um… (What the hell does that mean? What does here mean? Is he questioning my existence?) What am I doing where!?”
“Dude, here!”
“Dude! Where’s here!?”
Once we finally stopped saying ‘dude’ we figured out what had happened and what dumb-asses we had been. I’m sure this will be an episode of ‘Three Brothers, Three Mothers’ when it finally goes to air!

The rest of the trip home was smooth. Watched some good movies, went to the house in Vermont for good food and good converstion with the cousins, drove Jared back to Philly, and even got to see the Seahawks win on Monday night. All followed by a safe, if long, trip back to Sea-town and the 206.

Peace out.
