October 7, 2000. Every time I go across the street to my neighbor Eric's house, he will always start at least one fight with his brother, who is fourteen years older than Eric. It is almost religious; they won't fight all the time, just once while I'm there. Other patterns in Eric's house: Dad sitting in a Lazy Boy chair smoking Winston's and watching their 54" screen T.V., Eric on the right side of the couch while Scott (his brother) always sits on the left. I assume that if no one else is there I take another Lazy Boy in the corner of the room. Another pattern is that Carol (Eric's mom) will always have some kind of floral arrangement on the center of the coffee table.
