I have been helping my brother with his DJ business the last several days. This is bigger than it may seem to those who don’t know me. We haven’t hung out this much in years, literally since our childhood. We didn’t have the sanest adolescent years. We didn’t get along at all for many years. He has recently been reaching out to me and I just didn’t want to do anything. I didn’t trust him. Not that I trust him much more now, but I have very little to lose at this point. We have been getting along pretty well. We did a lot of work today. I have been mulling over the fact that I didn’t want to get into a money issue with him, but I don’t want to work for free either. I don’t want to have him owing me money and if I have a chance to make some elsewhere, that has got to me my priority. Well, I told him that today. This is probably the most direct I’ve ever been with anyone, ever. I hadn’t thought about that until my wife, of all people, pointed it out to me. She was pretty impressed, and I have to admit that it felt pretty good to hear her praise, although it was more a statement than praise. Still, this is progress.
