Todd's Family

I'm trapped at Pauls home until I type in 50 words or less about myself.  Where to begin.  Abby and I are expecting number 2 at the end of October.  We just got back from a Cruise to the Mexican "Riviera"...(Fancy word for Mexico's west side to give it credibility...I think we prefer the Carribean side)  Nothing super exciting to report...I surpassed my 50 word requirement.  Later.



My Brother Todd, is actually the reason I live in California! It was 5-6 years ago I was trying to make it on my own as an independent computer consultant. I would go to small businesses and set up their networks. I would actually go in run all the Cat5 terminate the ends, put in the routers/switches etc, configure the servers and then maintain the network as their on-call computer network guy. It was going great, i thought, accept for the fact that I had only two clients and i was in the on call stage of the job and they weren't calling. If I was smart I would have sabotaged their networks while I was setting them up. Anyway, Todd said why don't you come out to California, I'm starting a company, and I can keep you busy full time and you'll make a lot more money. It was a good move. I worked for Todd installing windows, doors, siding. Todd treated me well, he paid me well, he looked after me. Even today years after the company has been sold off and abandoned, he still takes care of me. He went to Mexico and came back with presents and gave me a couple hundred bucks for watching his daughter, even though I would have done it for free. He sold me his 800 dollar mountain bike for 50 bucks, because he doesn't use it? Someday I'll give him the 50 bucks! I've been without a car ever since the accident and he has given me his car everytime he goes out of town, which is basically all the time, and when he's home he'll buy subway and bring it over for lunch. Seriously, can you believe this? He takes me to the gym and kicks my ass in raquetball to remind me that I need to get in shape! He took Kobe home with him last night, so Heather and i could go out on a nice date! It's really amazing the incredible gift god gave me in this my twin brother! Oh wait i don't believe in God. I get it now! my brother thinks I'm going to hell and he feels so bad for me he's trying to help make my life here, now, a little bit better before...I die! Thanks Todd, I hope there is a heaven for you!

Thanks Todd for being the first to post your family bio, even though i made you do it! I let you win those 3 straight games in raquetball last night as a sign of my appreciation! BTW Greg's in the Mexican Riviera right now. You just missed him.

P.S. I just realized... If there is a heaven for you, then that means there's a hell for me! So i take back what I said, because I'd rather there was a nothing for both of us. Ha Ha! So screw you! See this is the part where I redeem myself for all that sap infested posting I did earlier!
