Brunch with Brad

bradvisit2-0111bradvisit-0111

Meet Brad. Brad is my cousin. My very tall cousin (I'm 5' 9", if that gives you any idea how tall he really is). He's also very smart. (a Ph. D. in physics -- or something like that). He's currently a research scientist at University of Chicago. Our moms were twins. Clearly, he got the brains. At least I got the looks. (Um, I'm totally just kidding -- our moms were twins -- identical twins). Here's the other thing about Brad ... we never see each other. What can I say? He lives a whole 15 minutes away from us. I know, isn't that ridiculous? It took him 15 minutes to get to our house today. In all fairness, he only moved here a couple years ago. And we've never lived in the same city before. And he kind of has a pretty intense career. And he travels a lot. But seriously, it's too bad this is the first time we've had him over. That won't happen again. It was a really great morning.

Just read his U of Chicago link. No kidding he is smart! I have no clue what he does and I read the description. So not on his wavelength. Oh, maybe he would think that was a pun?

I know. He and I have so much in common. It's really quite uncanny!

Great photo. Obviously he got some loving from Storm before the shot - way to rock the dog fur, Brad!

Ooops -that's my fault. I could have at least photoshopped it out. Yes, Storm kind of couldn't leave him alone. It was pretty ridiculous.
