Back to the status quo.

That's right, the normal state of events has returned both for me, in that my brother has left, and for you, in that I don't have anything especially interesting or informative to say. Oh, except that my brother has left. I like having my brother around, but you know what? I also love being able to walk around in my underwear after my parents have gone to bed. Now I'm not going to say which I love more, because that might prove embarrassing to Bert when I say it's the underwear thing, but the point I'm trying to make is... well... honestly, I started this sentence content in the assumption that I would come up with a way to end it by the time I got there, but no. Uh... NEXT PARAGRAPH!

So yeah. Bye, Bert! And in five more days: Bye Chicago! Then five days later: Bye, entire family! Hi Iona and the Ionoids!
