11. ~ I have a Big Brother,he's pretty much my hero...No...I take that back...He IS my hero.
12. When I made these today I thought of the time when we were kids,and he lured me outside in the winter with the pretense of building a snowman,he reaches down,picks a pebble from under the snow in the driveway...and,with the strength of Hercules,encasing said stone in a handful of freshly fallen white molecules,melting it down by the heat of the hand into one solid,round projectile of ICE.
13. With a grin I will never forget he hurls it with the velocity and accuracy of a Major League Pitcher towards me.
14. Dropping face down into that blanket of white,raising seconds later,spitting out a mouth full of snow...as I hear a...WHOP!
15. Standing just above me was 'DAD'...the recipient of said missile.I turn and look at my Brother with eyes as big as saucers.
16. All I could think of was Saint Peter all set to call his name,when to both of our surprise...Dad coughed,and sputtered, Dang,Son,if you throw like that next season they better look out! ...SAVED FOR ANOTHER DAY!
