My baby brother turns 50 years old today. There were years I tried hard to see that he never got to his 5th birthday. I tried selling him door to door. I tried putting him up for adoption (the Mitchells at the end of the block already had 2 adopted kids, I thought a 3rd was a natural plugin). Once at the grocery store with Mom, I snuck him behind those flappy doors at the back of the store and left him there. I tried - really. But, he had powerful allies.

I had two pieces of bread on the counter that weren't getting any younger so I made myself a sandwich and brought it in for lunch. While the mold on blue cheese is attractive, on bread it's just not that appealing.

I bought White Cheddar Cheetos last week. They are the puffy kind - not the crunchy kind but they are excellent and they do not make your fingers orange - this is a good thing in any food.

I should get to work.
