Terrible lunch at Chin Tao. I feel even worse. I emailed my brother this morning. We haven't seen each other or spoken in 16 years. I think we saw each other for a few minutes then... before than, it had been 10 years. So, basically he is a complete stranger to me. I found his email address and sent him a letter. I want to know him. He's going to be 39 this year and I feel terrible that so much time has passed and we never knew each other as family. He is my half-brother from my father's first marriage. As far as I know, he is living in Dallas, so maybe we can see each other soon. I'd like that.
