Welcome Home, Bro

Alas, updates have once again become as sparse as a cool summer's respite. But as the temperature has thrust ever upwards in the previous weeks, so has my summer activity. This includes: finding new diggs for the fall, work, freelance work, working out, planning parties, partying, going to shows (MASTODON), and trying to find time to relax. Yeah, real tough life eh. But I digress.

Perhaps the biggest recent highlight is the return of my younger brother Musqwaunquot, fresh off a six-month internship in the Cook Islands. I picked him up Friday night from Pearson:

I'm sure after months in the tropical South Pacific, he was thrilled to be back in Toronto. Regardless, we went out that night and got caught up, which was good times. But the main event was to follow the next night: the welcome home party at our family's beach on the Rez:

It was a killer time. About 50 friends and family members were in attendance. For the first time in a while the three Rice bros (myself, Musky, and the youngest Gigohns) were reunited, and it really kicked ass. Thanks to Mom and Grandma for helping me organize the whole thing, and thanks to everyone for coming out. There are definitely many more incriminating photos I could post of the evening's events, but I'll hold out for the highest bidder.

So welcome home, jerk. If anyone is interested in his island exploits, just dig his blog.

Enjoy the last few weeks of summer y'all.

Peace and Love,
Waub
