They're back from the beach now. A few hours after arriving, my brother broke his humerus—his first broken bone. He and his friend, Ethan, were playing around on their skateboards in front of the hotel. Carlyn's board shot out from under him and he just landed on his arm. Ouch. So, they drove down to a hospital in Myrtle Beach and were there until about 1:30am. Naturally, all of this happened on the first day, not the last. He didn't get to do much the rest of the week other than sitting in the room.

I went with my parents to Wal-Mart today. They were buying school supplies for my brother. It was a madhouse. A madhouse! I saw Eric Kimrey and Jeremy Cook in the electronics section. I don't think I had seen Eric since graduation, but I saw Jeremy at Arbor Day in 2002. Yes, they still hang out together like the purple conjoined monster twins on Sesame Street. They even still go fishing together. That makes me so happy to know that they're out on the lake on weekends like they did years ago. I guess it reminds me that some things—some good things—don't change.
