It shouldn't come as a surprise, but Brandon is still staying up till 4:00 every night / morning. He took a nap at 1am, like he does every night. He usually sleeps for 30 minutes, and wakes up. Tonight he slept longer. We got all excited, and thought that he was going to actually sleep the whole night this time, but he woke up at 2.

Today would have been my uncle "March"'s 73rd birthday. That's hard to imagine... He died when he was 62 years and 6 months old. My dad is 62 years and 11 months old. He's older than "March" now. That's hard to imagine, too... My dad has out-lived his brother... Barely.

What he's thinking: "Ha, ha! I'm going to keep you guys up till 6:00 this time!"
