Today is July 30, so you know what that means?

If you are my older brother, Chuckie, (or Chuck as he prefers), it means today is your birthday. And it’s not just any birthday, it’s the big 5-0!

If you are me, however, it means you will turn 35 in just 20 days.

And I just can’t believe I have a 50-year-old brother! Especially a 50-year-old brother capable of still acting like a 12-year-old when he gets a video-game controller in his hand. (Yeah, as far as I know the world revolves around me — it’s a Leo thing.)

Happy Birthday Chuck! I love you.

(P.S. My grad-school friend Giggy (a fellow Leo) now has a Blog at Blogger, (http://giggy38.blogspot.com/) she has a great post about going to Home Depot looking for something. It reminded me that I have a sexism story to tell y’all too, but it will have to wait because I have to go back to homework. Sniff.)

Look at that — a trio of Leos — Chuckie, Giggy, and Me. That reminds me of that Kermit song about rainbows — the lovers, the dreames and me…ladedadi…

What’s that? Me? Distracted? Nah. Homework. Right on it. Yep. OK. Going. I am. Thanks for playing. But it really is a good sexism story. I hope I remember it…

Happy Birthday Chuckie!
