I had a great day visiting with my older Brother, who lives in San Antonio now. He seemed so happy and I had a ball with him. He picked me up at my hotel, which made him angry, because I didn’t want to stay in his guest room. I can’t believe that I had to keep explaining myself over and over again. He just couldn’t believe that I like my privacy, even if I grew up with him and he knows everything there is to know about me, even my most embarrassing moments. I don’t think that throughout my visit I ever convinced him about my privacy issues. I even told him that I got the best deal online at this site and how I need a pool (he doesn’t have a pool) because swimming every morning is my workout, and I don’t like to run or sweat. He still found my explanations lame but, that’s my big brother, he never believes anything I say.

When he picked me up, he gave me a look that said, you could be staying with me for free, jeez. I couldn’t help but tease him while he drove us to Rudy’s Country Store and Bar-B-Q . I laughed when I read a sign proclaiming they have the worst BBQ in Texas! But, it wasn’t, it was the best BBQ I’ve have ever eaten. It was really wonderful. I’m glad to see big bro hasn’t lost his taste for good food.

After lunch and many laughs, we picked up his new girlfriend, Maggie. If I thought my brother was funny, she cracked me up. She was really spunky and classy at the same time. I think my brother has met his match, they make a very good pair. We spent the whole day together on the San Antonio Riverwalk . It’s this horseshoe shaped canal that runs right through town. Many years ago, the river would rise an flood downtown, so the city dug a bypass flood control canal, creating a mile long loop of river running through downtown. Then they lined the canal with shops, restaurants, bars and arts and crafts. Most of the places are locally owned, but there are a few franchises. There’s even a 2nd level to the River Walk with more shops and restaurants, they tied in a huge mall at one end. If you can’t find what you need at the River Walk, then you don’t need it.

For dinner, we went over to Maggie’s home, which is a newly remodeled church turned into a home! It was stunning, interesting and unique. This was where I would be staying in her guest bedroom! Man! I think I missed the boat here. I wish big bro would’ve told me he no longer lived in his messy, smelly bachelor pad.
