Retraction and other things

Apparently I lied when I said I wasn't going to be updating until September. Things happen, and I want to write about them. So, posts will probably still be infrequent, but I will post.

An Adventure
Starring: my parents, my sister and her husband, two of my brothers, my brother's girlfriend, and me.

Yesterday my sister called me at work and told me she and her husband were going boating. She realized I had to work and boating is not my favorite thing to do, but she said that my parents were going to come up later, and if I wanted to come I was invited. Then my mom called and told me that I was invited over for dinner, and then we'd go up to Pineview to meet the boating group. And I would get to meet my brother's girlfriend, who they all met on Friday. Sweet!

So after work I drove up to my parents' house. I was about ten minutes away from where they live when my mom called. "Where are you?" she asked. I told her. She then told me that my sister had just called to let her know that my brother Derek (they thought) had broken his arm, and he, his girlfriend, and my brother Lee were on their way to the hospital. If I wanted to still come over for dinner I could, but she and my dad were probably going up to the hospital after they ate. I was already more than halfway there, so I had dinner with my parents and then went to the hospital.

Luckily, Derek didn't break his arm. He didn't dislocate his shoulder or his elbow or anything either. He did, however, rip the tendon in his bicep. Derek, Derek, Derek. You don't know your own strength! Anyways he's doing okay, last I heard. And I got to meet the girlfriend, however briefly. That was the adventure.
