Happy Birthday Dr. P

Posted By on July 7, 2007

You have a fun date today, 07/07/07. Last one you had like this you were 5 which was 07/07/77.

My brother (or Patricochet as he is known in some circles) is a pretty cool guy.

He has a lovely wife, Carrie, and daughter, Genevieve (who was born about 6 weeks before Caroline. Funny thing, Pat and Carrie got married two weeks after Peter and I did.)

I can’t tell you what he does for a living because 1) I am a little unclear about it and 2) he’d have to kill you.

He is really good a video games. I use to watch him play various computer games like “Tomb Raider” and whatever the first Star Wars first person shooter game was. I couldn’t play them worth spit but he was really good.

I got him into gaming and he still enjoys it.

I remember as a baby, he was big on smiling and was a great giggler. He was the first baby I changed diapers on.

I remember watching him and Sheila create these elaborate stories with our Star Wars action figures.

I shared my love of books with him. He scoured my bookshelves for things to read when I was still living at home and came to me for recommendations.

I got him his first stage role. He and Sheila were in a production of “6 Characters in Search of an Author.” I think he has forgiven me for that.

I am grateful that Patrick is my baby brother.
