the lost boys

My baby brother turned 26 today. He graduated from college a couple of weeks ago. He still doesn't know what he wants to be when he grows up. I just hope he ends up in Carlsbad.

Thomas, more commonly known as "Lord of the Flies", is seldom seen these days. Standing at the back door of my parents house, I call his name and he appears from seemingly nowhere, a sweaty dirty, mongrel boy. I hope these few weeks as a ferrel child stick in his brain like the memories I have of growing up in the Outback of Australia.
