Hey Dan

I am the younger bother. So naturally I think my older brother Dean is cool. It is a younger brother thing. So I tend to think it is just me.

Yesterday I got to hold Lagolas’s short swords, and one Gimli’s axe’s. Yes, the props used in the movie. They and a host of other real cool Lord of the Ring’s movie props and stuff are scattered around the Dean’s office. You see my brother works for EA and his current job tile is Senior Software Engineer on Lord of the Rings: Return of the King for PS2. Yes he makes video games for a living. Not only that but, cool video games.

So yes I still feel like the kid following his brother home from school, wanting to hang out with the ‘big kids,’ but also I think the rest of you will agree. My brother is cool.
