resemblances
The three Brake boys have all sorts of similarities: high brows, twitches, broad interests, religious devotion, strong political views, musical talent, high intelligence, a curious fondness for heavy metal, an appreciation of good cigars, a liking for getting up in front of people.
Most folks notice the similarities between Paul and me, I think because we physically match more than either of us with Rich. But the two of them share important traits. They're the most politically conservative members of our family, by a long shot. They both say "eye-dih" instead of "idea." They both wear shoes that show they went to college in the early 80s. They're the youngest Boomers, where I'm the oldest Gen-Xer, and it shows in a thousand ways.
When you get us all together, you can see the dramatic family resemblance among all of us. But every once in a while I look so much like Rich it's scary. I was finally looking through some pictures from Panama, and came on this one.
Interesting, no? I'd post a picture of Rich for those of you who don't know him, but it's no use. You have to know him. There isn't a picture that would show it. Family resemblance. It's as delightful as the variations on a theme in a Bach piece, and for the same reason.
