The 3 Hermanos

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

Well at this point we are just the 3 brothers anticipating the arrival of the 4th, and his new bride.  I’m really excited.  That honestly is putting it pretty lightly.

My crazy flute playing brother arrived with long hair, so I obliged to use colorful nomenclature such as “Sally” when I refer to him.  Why?  Well thats just our way in the Hudson family.  Other than that he seems pretty normal… I had actually been a little frightened to see what he looked like as my father calls him scary skinny, and honestly the guy has never had any “extra” weight, so loosing what weight he had is a travesty for humanity.
My other brother, the one I refer to as “the convict”, is actually settling in rather nicely to his life with his woman.  I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, women are the reason for society.  Guy would totally live in a shack with a 50″ plasma TV and never want for anything else.  Women require us to venture out of the normals that we would normally confine ourselves to.  Anyway, his lady has apparently the right combination of being ridiculously nice, while being firm enough with my brother (c’mon we all have some inner knucklehead in us..) to keep him on the straight and narrow.  He’s crazy smart, and ready to take the world on.  I think with his recent grade report from his school (deans list, FTW) he is actually starting to believe that he IS as smart as I always told him he was.  I’m thrilled to see him leave his older habits in the past and push forward into being the kind of remarkable that we all knew (but as guys, could never say) he could be.  I wonder if its that he grew up enough to do this, or if his lady is just the catalyst for this change.  Either way its awesome.

Unfortunately, he’ll probably graduate college before me and with this “deans list” crap, I’ll be the brother with the lowest GPA.  Such is life, I suppose.  I really couldn’t ask for a better bunch for my brothers, and I’m honored to be family with them.  With any luck when they all go out and make millions they’ll toss a few grand my way for just believing in them.. well its a thought.  :)

I’ll be back on in a day or so to fill in where the Dr comes in!!
