Happy 30th, Butch!

Happy 30th, Butch! My little brother is 30 today. While hes been taller than me for about half his life, this is how I always think of him. although this is who hes become. At my wedding in 2008, pic by the talented Kate Leigh Were absolutely complete opposites in practically every way, and it still floors me that two people so different could come from the same two people. But yet weve learned to respect our differences and become as close as, well, um, brother and sister. Im so proud of you, Butch*, that I might just start crying like I did at your Bar Mitzvah. Happy 30th its gonna be a great one. *OK, his name is Brandon, but Butch was his nickname when he was little, and its always stuck. And yes, I thought that Butch was short for Brandon until I was in my 20s.
