So, I get an email from my brother yesterday.
This is almost earth-shattering news. I hardly EVER hear from my brother. Usually, we hear from my sister-in-law, but she's cut back on her email in favor of Face(Palm)Book, which I'm not on (though the boss is).
I knew that they were looking at moving out of their allegedly cramped apartment, somewhere in London. Obviously they've gotten something, because he sent along their new snail-mail address. With the cryptic note "How are you? The llamas arrive tomorrow"
So I asked. I figured this had to be slang for the movers, or something like that...
Nope. He tells me that they bought a farm. And they're going to be raising llamas.
Llamas?
Now, my brother has done many things in his life. Some of which we know about. He's worked as an assistant engineer on two tourist steam railroads, been to sea with cargo ships (and be shot at off of Africa), been a book dealer, an art dealer, his first wife was a bit of an avant-garde performance artist, art instructor at a University, internet radio DJ... not that I should talk, mind you, but it's been an interesting journey.
Llamas?
In England?
All righty then...
