Geographical cures and related phenomena.

Next weekend, for my birthday, I get to go down to Chicago and see my sister celebros , one of my top five favorite people in the world, as she graduates from college.  This is a fantastic present.  I sometimes feel like I ought to be jealous of my sister, since she is younger than me but more prolific in her writing, more academically successful, harder-workling and better-employed, and is now earning her college degree before I have.  (Sort of -- I earned my degree, but have yet to pay for it, and therefore am not officially a graduate).

I can't be jealous, though.  Even though she's five years younger than me, I have thought of her as my big sister for the past few years in  most ways.  In all the ways that I am still her big brother, though, I am nothing but immensely proud and overjoyed at how awesome she is.

Congratulations, sister mine.  I can't wait to see you.

That is all I have to blog about today.
