I could elaborate on all of the above, but that would get crazy long.  I’m guessing/hoping you remember most of them.  I’m sure I missed just as many as I got; you probably remember others too.  There’s an even longer list not sports related; talk about crazy long.  It’s been cool having a brother for the past 40 years to share all this crap with.  First person I text to this day about anything happening in the Chicago sports, it’s you.  Hoping for at least another 40 years together, and another long list of memories.  Happy Birthday bro!  Love you.

    Wow, that’s an impressive list and walk down memory lane! We sure have done a ton of stuff together…living, working, and of course sports related. I wouldnt change any of it and cherish all of the memories. Thanks for the tribute and birthday wishes! Love you, too!
    As for the list, just a few off the top of my head are the baseball trip to Iowa, the Bears super bowl loss to the colts at the apartment, the countless pick up bball games anywhere we could get them (a dominating duo), the Bulls and Bhawks championship parades, and all of our sports cards collecting back in the day.
