Today is my favorite brother’s birthday. The day he turns FIVE YEARS older than me. While that only lasts until March, I enjoy it just the same. To celebrate, I had spaghetti for breakfast! (Don’t judge me… breakfast was at noon!)
I’m the only one around here that will eat spaghetti. After I ate what I wanted when it was made a few weeks back, I put the rest in lunch-sized containers in the freezer. I gave myself a pat on the back for that today. Our local hospital has a drive-through COVID booster clinic that’s open from 7am-9am next Monday. I may have to again have spaghetti for breakfast to celebrate that too.
So happy birthday to my favorite sibling — the one who told me when I was a mere youngster, “The police brought you. Mom and Dad aren’t REALLY your parents.” (Queue Bill Cosby’s — at the time LP album — To Russell, My Brother, Whom I Slept With.) Scott thought it was a hoot back in 1968. I cried every single time he teased me. What a jerk, right?
He’s still a jerk sometimes, but not as often as when we were living together growing up.
