September Adventure Four: Brent and the Books

Brent (my brother, not best-friend-Brent. I know it gets a little confusing since I only make friends with people if I already know someone with that name.) just happened to be in town for my absolute favorite festival in Baltimore: The Baltimore Book Festival. Now whether he was really excited to go, or whether he was just a really good sport has yet to be determined, but off we went to the festival.

Nancy and I usually spend close to four hours there, alone. Every year we tell everyone how awesome it is (because it is) and every year people tell us it sounds great, and they would love to join us. However, to date, Brent is the only one who has ever joined us. And that is likely because he had no choice. But, I think he did enjoy himself. Granted, we only stayed for an hour as there were other things to be seen in the 24 hours Brent had in the city. Brent with his writing sample as he waited to get his handwriting analyzed by Eldon. We get our handwriting analyzed every year. This year they told me I lack goals and ambition.

I'm not sure I'm going back next year.



After hitting up the Baltimore Book Festival on Friday, we headed down to Washington for the National Book Festival. I think Brent would agree that Baltimore's festival is hands-down better. It had something its southern counterpart didn't have: books.

Way too many adventures to comment on and it's way too late for me to still be up. How do you find time to do things?

I miss Eldon. I wonder if I had time to get my hand-writing analyzed again this year if he would remember me and comment on how much I have matured.
