Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!

Today’s blog will take a momentary respite from the saga of the N. P. D. & S. Well…mostly.

Imagine my surprise this morning when I checked my WDC email and found this,

given to me by my dear brother, TeflonMike .

Many of you, I’m sure, did not realize until this moment that Mike and I are, in fact, brothers. Recently, we have been comparing our lives and there are just too many coincidences for it not be true, so I have concluded that we are indeed brothers, probably twins separated at birth.

For some reason I’m seeing Arnold Swarzennegger and Danny Davito.

In this respect, I truly hope Mike remembers my birthday this year, as it seems he has missed the last 49. No need for a present, Mike. Just knowing I have a brother is present enough. Just in case, I like Angel food cake the best…you know, the one with the sprinkles inside that makes it look like confetti… now don’t tell me we have something else in common!

Of course, I’m not sure how we’re going to break the news to our sister, Twila. She’s 55, somewhat old and feeble minded (geez I hope she doesn’t read this.) I’m not sure she’s up to having another brother. In fact, sometimes she denies having one at all.

Mom will be cool. She’ll just try and fatten Mike up. It’s a mother thing. Dad, on the other hand will be somewhat bummed. He’ll start thinking about how much more work he could’ve got out of two of us instead of just one. And then it’ll really hit him. Fishing! We could’ve brought home another limit in bass…at least legally. Same goes for deer hunting. Man…opportunities lost.

Anyway, thanks brother Mike for making my day.


Addendum:

Yesterday’s entry on the N.P.D. & S. is the last one from my archive. Since everyone is wondering what comes next, I will attempt to bring everyone up to date with a few more entries. I should be able to add some photos tonight.
