I am learning so many things about my little bro. He has a lot of pet peeves that are deeply practical, a total lack of patience that’s actually incredibly sympathetic, and a surprising array of things that he enjoys. He thinks that Apple stores and cameras are the end of humanity, he’s really OCD about how you wrap food up when you put it back in the fridge, lest the food spoil, he likes to put on nice shirts when he goes nice places, and he’s REAL into flamenco dancing. He took me to a show last night, and I CAN SEE WHY. It’s soulful, rhythmic, intoxicating, Spanish tap dancing of sorts, a few singers, spanish guitar and a dancer or two, and you just sort of go away inside of it, and Dan tries to find the perfect time shout OLE! When they’re done, and it’s always just a HAIR too late, but the effort is, well, pretty much the best.
