Keane carries pain to the next battle

Conor, one of my brothers, is Bear.

In the last year or so Conor’s influence in the world has changed. When you are close to somebody you are the last to notice these things but now when he says wise things I wonder should I be writing them down to quote later or just telling him to shut up as I have always done. I’m thinking of getting his name changed. He should either be Father Bear. Or Confucius. Sometimes even Confucius chooses the wrong time to come out with what other philosophers call the “bloody obvious”.
