My twin sister just called me to tell me she got engaged to her long time boyfriend.

I just found out a couple of days ago my best friend proposed to his girlfriend Missy and she said yes. That is great news in itself but I also found out I am to be the best man at their wedding. I haven’t known Missy for that long but I do know she is beautiful and sweet and a perfect match for Charlie.

I snagged this from my brother’s facebook page.  For years I have been pleading with my parents to get another dog.  My dog had passed away after my sister and I moved out of the house and I can’t have one in the place I am living at.  My parents finally got one some months back.  Cookie, the world - the world, Cookie.

My twin sister was recently featured on the eyewitness news heath section. She appears in a session about keeping your back straight. Pretty cool stuff and sage advice for those of us who hunch over computers all day.

I just found out my bro has put down his deposit on North Eastern Univeristy. Last time we spoke it was between that and Loyola, Maryland. I was a freshman dropout of the Univeristy of Maryland* so I was worried about him going to Loyola. At least in Boston, if he needs to unwind he can always take the T to my place to decompress for a bit. It is also far enough from New York that he can feel independent but still go home when all of his friends aren’t around.

As a graduation gift I am taking my brother to Amsterdam the week after GUADEC.  Anyone have suggestions of where we should stay?

* I later graduated Hofstra which in a winding path finally led me to Red Hat, so no regrets
