Deb's Lunch ... and dinner and breakfast too » brothers http://debslunch.com/debslunchblog reflections on life & food Wed, 08 Sep 2010 01:55:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 en hourly 1 David & Mimi at FHR http://debslunch.com/debslunchblog/2010/03/04/david-mimi-at-fhr/ http://debslunch.com/debslunchblog/2010/03/04/david-mimi-at-fhr/#comments Thu, 04 Mar 2010 19:01:57 +0000 DebS http://debslunch.com/debslunchblog/?p=528 Last week, in addition to my brother’s weekly post about the hijinks (in their own words “Bikes, beer can baseball with a U lock, random nutsacking, free beer, another perfect night.”) he and his bike gang get up to every Thursday night, my brother wrote about FHR – the Fucking Hills Race, a Sunday afternoon, family-friendly – at least, our family – bike ride. One of his biking compadres posted a picture  of my bro and his daughter at the race in the comments, and I snagged a copy:

Prof. Dave & Mimi with the tandem at FHR

To me, the picture – besides being a miracle because my niece is almost smiling – is a miracle of genetics. My brother looks like our dad – though much slimmer – my niece looks just like John, especially this really old picture of John I just found, sitting on the steps of his high school), and like her mom.

I put the picture in my iPhone, and I was just looking at it last night when I got email from the bro asking if I’d send power bars to his this-year’s birthday bike race, like I did 2 years ago … and of course I had to say yes – it’s in the genes.
