Brotherhood 2.0: June 14: Good News/Bad News

Good morning Hank, it's Thursday I have good news and bad news.
First: the good news, (raises cord) Yes!! Thanks to about 35 thousand residents of the Dominican Republic we managed to get our silver magic cord that takes the ideas from inside the camera and puts them inside the computer. From the big city, which is like an hour and a half away, to the little city, which is here. YES!
And now the bad news, Hank, and I really can address this video to you because you went off to the beach or whatever to use the internet magic phone to talk to the Katherine, but anyway, we had been planning all week for an exciting Brotherhood 2 moment of hilarity. About six weeks ago my cousin Braxton called me and he said, John I have good news and I have great news. And I said, oh, well, let's start with the good news, and he said, my wife and I are going to have our first child. And I said, wow, that is really really good news, I can't imagine what the great news is. And then Braxton said, John, the great news is this: in the Dominican Republic they have miniature donkey polo.
Miniature donkey polo! Now before any of you animal rights nerdfighters get mad at me let me quickly point out that miniature donkey polo is not inhumane. Witness for example: Chistopher Robin and Eeyore? Huh, huh? Getting ridden by Christopher Robin was the only thing that ever made Eeyore happy. Add to the long list of things I thought I would never say but ended up saying on Brotherhood 2.0 "ridden by Christopher Robin." Anyway Hank, I've spent the last six weeks looking forward to miniature donkey polo and then I called this morning because the miniature donkey polo was scheduled for six o'clock and they said that it had been cancelled due to heat. I don't wanna exploit the donkeys, but we're in the Dominican Republic. How can you cancel something due to heat? It's always hot here! So unfortunately our reunion is going to have to end without donkey polo.
Anyway Hank, it's been a great week, I've loved hanging out with you, it's been every bit as fun as the Growing Pains theme promised it would be. I think we've also micro finance and poverty and what life is really like in this country and I think we're looking forward to making those videos when we get back home to regular video equipment land. And really I think the only way this trip could have been better is if our grandparents hand been here and if Katherine had been here. I mean, without them it does feel a little bit like a family reuni instead of a family reunion. Anybody? Anybody? Hmm? Hmm? Hmm? Spelling jokes? Any one? No? OK. Hank, I'll see you tomorrow.
