Hopefully I'll have brain and time to post tomorrow. For now, have a repost of (some of) what I wrote to
littleredhead in a tremendous hurry, earlier today. Since then I've hardly stopped, aside from sitting down to dinner just now. And it's time for bed.

Yeah, we've had a fun weekend, what there was of it. :) My brother, [Hawk], and his girlfriend showed up about 24 hours ago, and we spent as much time as we could running around town and taking them to our favorite haunts and chattering all the while. We managed to hit India Palace, walk around the Old Port, stop at Ri Ra for a drink, go up to Breaking New Grounds for a coffee - and hung there a while because it had started raining. We had hoped to hit the Portland Head Light, but were just a bit too slow with the rain, so we went to Norm's for dinner and then came back and made them watch the first "Chef!" and the first "Red Dwarf," because they'd never seen either. And then I insisted on taking them for breakfast, which didn't work out too well because Becky's was full so we went to Hot Suppa instead, and they had a waiting line, too. :P But it was a quite good breakfast.
They're going to be waaaay late for when they were supposed to arrive at our aunt's house, not good as she only has a few hours to hang with them before she's headed out of town. So much fun, though, packed into so little time - it's like trying to make up for the whole year all at once, since we only see [Hawk] once a year.
