my brother Mike: "There's something wrong with every girl. Gotta just expect that."

me: "Well, what's wrong with me then?"

Mike: "You? You're a loudmouth."

me: (pauses) "Yeah, I guess you're right."

My stats discussion got out early this morning, so I headed over to catch my brother as he was leaving his class, and we had breakfast at Towers. Apparently, his girlfriend broke up with him last Sunday. This is the same day that he and I were stuck in traffic behind a multi-car accident on I-84 for two and a half hours on our way up here. I know this news doesn't have the same impact on anyone who reads this as it did on me - I was stunned. They had been together for two and a half years, their families know and like each other, I was even thinking about what it would be like to have Amanda as a sister-in-law. I feel awful for him and angry at her. I guess little sisters can be protective, too.

What can you do for a good guy like him when something like this happens? I'm used to this happening to female friends, and there's usually a lot of name-calling and chocolate involved. Anyway, I'm not sure if he's told anyone else yet, which makes putting this in my blog questionable.
Here's my justification - I'll use my blog as a mechanism to help my brother meet girls (since he's not on campus fulltime anymore). He's 22, graduating in December, and has a good job making excellent money. His preoccupation is hockey, and he has an excellent sense of humor (similar to mine). He's a busy guy but will make time for his girl - I've seen that firsthand. He remembers birthdays, anniversaries, etc, and is both considerate and responsible.

Who's interested?
