Didn't find a place in the big apple?

Didn't even start looking. I was tellin' my mom what I was thinking about doin' and my little sister heard. And cried. A lot.

Ohhh no! That's the worst! How old is your little sister? It is so hard to leave crying siblings!

She's 13. She's a great kid, I don't wanna upset her.

Man, thirteen is the worst too. I know you don't but sometimes you gotta do what's best for you.

What's best for me is what's best for her. Really. She has Down Syndrome, so I like to be around to help out my parents. She's a very cool kid, but sometimes a bit of a handful.

You are a great big brother to stick around and help, plus I bet your parents love you for it. What's her name?

I try to be. Her name's Tina.

I am sure you don't have to try very hard. I have a little brother too, his name is John Baptiste.

How old is your brother?

He's almost two, it will be his birthday soon.

Very little brother then. That's a cute age, if they don't go through the terrible twos.

Oh yeah, very little. I think so too, I doubt he'll cause much trouble though. He's always been a very quiet, well behaved baby. Everyone is well behaved in our house!

Complete opposite in my family. Well, everyone's well behaved, but we're loud. Especially when you get all of us in a room.

Oh man! I've always wanted a loud, happy family! I think that makes holidays and family dinners that much cooler. Dad doesn't like noise, so we are quiet.

That's my family. I haven't noticed if it's much cooler at the holidays but, I've never really been anywhere different.

A little noise is a good thing. Your dad is missing out.

Oh, well try it some place else and then go back, trust me it will make a WORLD of difference.

Shrugs. I don't think he sees it that way.

I might do that some time.

You're welcome to come to my place, any time. LA isn't that far away.

I would invite you over, but I don't want to inflict that on you. Laughs.

I might, I gotta go to New York and straighten some stuff out, hopefully I won't be there long though.

That's right, I remember, that's how we got to talkin' in the first place.

Well, the offer stands. When are you getting to New York? I'm leavin' on the weekend, gotta be back at work Monday.

It's all coming back to you nowwww! Giggles.

Thank ya, I'll probably take you up on it! I am flying in Friday afternoon, what have you been doing in New York? If I'm not to busy would you like to get a cup of coffee, or lunch? Something, whatever. Grins.

Yep. I got, like, a one day memory sometimes.

Awesome, I'll look forward to it. Mostly family stuff, visiting all the aunts and uncles and cousins that are still here. Took my sister into the city to the Central Park Zoo today which was cool.

We've got a big dinner tomorrow night for my grandmother's birthday, but I will be around all day Saturday, I'd really like to meet up.

It's okay, it happens to the best of us.

Oh yes, that sounds like lots of fun. Is that the reason you came out to New York? Family games and stuff? Central park is always a blast.

Yeah, I think I can swing that. I know it's going to be really crazy when I land, so hopefully we'll have time to meet.

I'm sure dad will be happy bout that one.

And you?

I happen to be mildly pleased.

I'll take mildly pleased.

Good, cause it's all your going to get out of me at the moment. I'm too hot to try and be my usual witty self.

Right. I am so leaving that one alone.

*smirks* Why are you leaving it alone?

Because I'll say something and that fiancé of yours will come around and beat me. Also, because I'm a nice guy, remember?

Ah yes, the nice guy.

the air conditioner is shot to hell in the office and the repairman can't come until friday. I'm doomed with a fan.

That's me.

Work from home?

Course it is. It'll always be you Leo.

Can't work from home. Logan's making arrangements though, apparently he wants to buy the whole place where the office is and put ME in charge of what to do.

I'm working on changing that nice guys finish last thing though.

Good for Logan.

Oh you'll come out on top. trust me.

I hope so.
