HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOY!

woo hoo, it's my brother's 25th birthday! well, as i type this, it's his birthday for the next minute. i meant to post this earlier but it's been a busy day.

can't believe my little brother is so grown up! i tried to find a really embarrassing picture of him when he was a kid to post here, but my mother must have custody of those. in fact, i could barely find any old pictures and what i did find were mostly embarrassing photos of me. ...though that might indeed make a nice birthday gift to my brother....

anyway, boy, i hope it was lovely. wish were there again to celebrate with you!

and speaking of my brother, he's doing great in d.c., working in the advertising department of the Kennedy Center. very nice. and then, out of nowhere, you won't believe this: he met with the VP of programming at the Food Network all because of his little old blog. and he is in talks to develop a daily web show based on his blog! i know, i know, it's insane. they're still working out all the details but they're asking him to tape a few shows in NY coming up.

my brother the star.

maybe i should try harder to track down that photo of him when he was four in our mother's first communion gown after all....

happy birthday!

P.S. jay-okay, i know this is me in the picture and not you but i had to post it just to get a kick out of mom and dad way back when. with all dad's hair i remember thinking as a child that he was perpetually wearing one of those big Eskimo coats with the fur all around his head.
