It's Boxing Day--December 26th 2009. My ten year old brother Duncan and I have been abandoned by our parents. I suppose we shouldn't complain. It is, after all their first date in like 20 years.
After about 2 hours of ignoring each other awkwardly, Duncan and I have decided to start this blog. There is no doubt in my mind that Duncan was inspired by that delightful film Julie and Julia, which we watched together last night. I am also waiting for him to ask me how to de bone a duck or better yet how to make an aspic.
It was not easy to figure out what sort of blog to write with Duncan. We are contending with a 15 year age differential and finding common ground is as difficult as one could imagine. It then occurred to me that I don't really know what goes on in the mind of a ten year old-besides nothing of course, so perhaps this blog could serve as a fun way for us to share information with one another. Here is how I see this working:
I post an interesting obituary from The Economist.com
Duncan will post something arguably less interesting such as Epic Fail --a website that, well...I'm not quite sure what. I will have to take his suggestion and enlighten myself after we finish this entry.
Duncan and I are both pretty excited about this little project of ours. It should be a neat way of sharing the interesting, cool and awesome things that we stumble upon during our internet adventures both together and separately. We both after all have terrific taste in everything. Including the Internet:)
Yours truly,
Tiffany and Duncan MacRae
