My younger brother, a genius photographer, has just secured a new job that looks as though it will be congenial in the extreme for his personality and professional goals. Some of you know my brother personally. Others have heard stories about why I like him as much as I do (because in my family, I'll tell you, we don't much believe in automatically liking the people to whom we're related). He is exceptional. I am so pleased.

And I am so proud. That bears repeating: I am so proud. And did I mention lucky? That too.
