["My brother is watching over some possessions of mine while I leave for a trip. There's some expensive exercise equipment he has to look after.", 'I have some of that too. It would make me a little nervous.', 'I am kind of sweating bullets over the decision, to put it mildly he is very flighty.']

I'm leaving some expensive exercise equipment in the possession of my brother. He's a little flimsy as far as honor goes, and he disappears a lot.
