family

Well, apparently I became an uncle this morning. (Yes, that makes me Uncle Ben. Insert all your ready-to-heat rice jokes here.) Who the hell calls their child MacAllan anyway? Isn't that some sort of road-surfacing material? Anyway, yeah, 7lbs, 10oz, spawn of my half-brother, allegedly. Scary stuff. It seems like only yesterday that he and I would play football, or Dungeons and Dragons, or I'd yell at him for watching the Star Wars video for the 48th time in as many days. Now he has a kid. It seems a shame. Oh well, that's life I suppose. Hopefully he's happy.
