Well today has been a very excellent day. After getting a great deal on the materials to finish the basement, I went to meet for the very 1st time my half-brother, from the USA. My father is his father. The man is 54, has 3 grown daughters, and 10 grand kids of his own. He looks like our father to a tee.....same facial structure, same build, but with his own personality. He is in town to meet the family and to see our father for teh 1st time too (Our father is very ill, and is currently in the hospital on a permenant basis). Tomorrow (dec 14th) is his 74th bday, so we are all going to go see him.
I will update as I learn more about my new brother.
