Well, it's been an interesting few days back in my hometown area. I've been doing some small inspections in the area and spending time with the family.

Got to see my best friend from college, who is now a doctor. I went to school with both him and his wife, so they are old friends. I got to see their one year old son, who is Greg (my buddy) made over. I spent some time with my brother's pseudo-girlfriend who came over and cooked us all a delicious dinner last night. And I got to spend time with my mom and her teenage giddiness. Like I said, it's been interesting so far.

I took the nephew to the movies today to see "Brother Bear." It's a good movie, typical Disney fare, and full of children. Afterwards we played video games and then went walking around at the local flea market. The latter was my big mistake. He has $11 burning a hole in his pocket and he wanted a new video game. Which meant that I would be footing the rest of this $40 game.

Now my sis has told me he's getting a new game system for Christmas and the game he wanted was for teenagers (he's only seven). So I said no and he didn't speak to me the entire way back. I hate being the responsible uncle sometimes. I know he's a little spoiled, and I'm partly responsible for that, but sometimes... it just unnerves me a little. Those big brown eyes, that quivering lip, that pout... ugh! It tugs the heartstrings.
