So if I use that formula, he is 36 today. My mother was rather organized with her chidren.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick is my go-to person when I want to find a new video game to play. He knows that I am all thumbs when it comes to first person shooters and do much better with turn-based games. He is up on what is out and coming out.<\/p>\n<p>He is an excellent tabletop gamer. I will admit to introducing him to Warhammer but the rest he did and found on his own. He is quite good with them. I can remember some of the mech games that he and his friends set up with complicated settings and a lot of measuring with little measuring tapes. He has the right kind of mind for those sorts of games.<\/p>\n<p>I can remember when I first heard the phrase &#8220;brain the size of a planet&#8221; and immediately thought of Patrick. He has also been referred to as the brain on legs. He is bright and has an uncanny ability to be able to look at a problem from more than one direction at the same time while quickly discarding the solutions that won&#8217;t work.<\/p>\n<p>So Happy Birthday Mr. P! I hope it is a good one for you.<\/p>\n<p>I am grateful for my baby brother in my life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My baby brother, well not a baby for a very long time, has a birthday today.
