My Brother, the Olympian
Friday, March 14th, 2008
Alright, so I may not be a very funny comic, but at least this one is based on a true story. I also figured out that if I do the basic stuff on bitstrips.com, then save the image file and open it up in Photoshop, I can play a bit more and add a few details like the X-Men logo on my character’s t-shirt, or the tilted water in Jen’s cup.
I got a call from my little brother this morning. I was late for a meeting, so I didn’t have time to get all the details, but it seems he won a gold medal in bowling for the region of the Utah Special Olympics encompassing Salt Lake. He’s been training for this for years, and despite his cerebral palsy, he’s a better bowler than I’ll ever be, even if I skipped the drinking and socializing.
My other brother (the baby of the family) is getting close to earning his Eagle Scout Award. In fact, all he’s really got to do at this point is write up some notes and submit the paperwork. I’m hoping he can get his court of honor ceremony scheduled for the week I’ll be in Utah taking the LSAT.
