Blog Master G

I was psyched last night to learn that my little bro has launched his very own blog, Hegemony. Like both my parents and other members of our family, he’s always had a gift for writing. Pete’s writing is intelligent, fun to read, and just plain hilarious. I try to be funny sometimes, but my bro is the real deal. His writing makes me laugh out loud, and puts my weak attempts at comedic writing to shame.

Pete’s first (and, so far, only) blog entry, Welcome, Suckers, begins:

Welcome to my world. A little about myself: I’m 6’4″, carved out of stone, cause IQ tests to spontaneously combust when I enter the room, rescue kittens from burning trees, rip my shirt when I flex, and have been told my hair is what Angels use to weave dreams. Really, really good dreams. I have a dog named Chase. She wears a bandana, reads voraciously, is a member of several violent international motorcycle gangs, and was drafted number seven overall as a catcher by the San Francisco Giants. I’ve been evicted from two homes within the past year, and am currently letting my mom live with me in her house. This is my first ever blog entry.

Bring it, Pete Dog! I can’t wait to read what’s next.

(The photo of Peter on the tractor, which he chose for his inaugural blog entry, is from mine and Jen’s pre-wedding week, and was taken by yours truly at my in-laws’ house in Kinderhook.)
