happy birthday big lug

today is the birthday of my brother, big lug.  a great thing about getting older is that the childhood memories of fighting, teasing, competing, etc. fade away.  they are instead replaced by memories of playing games, chatting on the phone whilst he travels, eating pizza at Grimaldi's, watching him sitting on the stand in church and discussing the merits of byu football.  i like these new memories much more than the one where we ended up in a rock fight after disagreeing on our ping pong score.  happy birthday brother!
