happy birthday, sean!

Today is my brother Sean’s 38th birthday.
That is OLD.
That is SO OLD that I’m relieved that the lovely young woman up there (my sister-in-law, Carey) was willing to marry such an OLD man.
I don’t know what it’s like to be that OLD but wow, I bet it’s interesting.
(I know. Sisters are JERKS.)
He’s not really that old (well, he is, but there’s no way 38 is “old”, especially when you consider my Dad’s age, which is SO FREAKING OLD).
(I’m going to get disowned.)
Sean, I love you!
You make me laugh.
You are proud of me even when I’m a dork.
You challenge my ideas and my notions about things.
You inspire me with the things you’re doing right now.
You are gracious, compassionate, witty, thoughtful, generous, intuitive, curious and just deep down GOOD.
Thanks for being my big brother and my friend.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy birthday, Sean! (I’d give Meg a noogie, if I were you.)

An old freak? That’s not very nice

Muchos gracias, sister-of-mine…
There will be noogies… I don’t know where, I don’t know when, but there will be noogies…

Happy Birthday Meg’s brother.
And Meg - that actually made me tear up a bit!

I used to think 38 was old, too… until I arrived at that number this year. It really hit me when I got my 20th HS reunion invite. But when I showed up and looked around at all the good looking people I went to school with, I realized that we are just getting started.
Happiest of birthdays to your long suffering brother!

What IS the the turning point? When am I going to roll from spiffy, youthful and wrinkle free into putting down a down payment on a stroller, book a caribbean cruise including shuffleboard championships for the elderly and stumbling over my eye bags? When, huh? WHEN?
PS: just turned thirty…

Congratulations, Oscar; you’ve arrived! Your AARP membership card is in the mail, and the cruise is scheduled for February…

Has anyone seen my teeth? …Hello…? I seem to have lost my teeth. Can anyone help me?
Ohw, shuffle board? Sure! I’m not gonna be able to eat anyway…
