Here's a good one. I have a good excuse, though, since I hadn't seen

the guy for over 6 months! Read on.... I had been away in another

state for 6 months, I came home to visit my mom, and while I was

there a guy knocked on her door. I looked out through the peephole

and I couldn't identify him, although there was something a bit

familiar about him, so I said " Mom, there's some guy at the door. "

Those peepholes distort faces anyway... So she recognized the guy

and let him in. He didn't say anything to me but started talking to

her. So I was a bit on the sidelines, looking at him, and

thinking " Gosh this guy looks kinda familiar. " Also he looked a bit

scary as he was BULKY. I couldn't quite figure out why my mom had let

him in and felt so comfortable talking with him.

You will never guess who he was.

Yep. My brother. Here's my excuse, though. He had gained a LOT of

weight because he was into weightlifting and so was eating a ton of

Joe Wieder's protein powder or whatever the stuff was back then. I

will bet he had gained about 25 pounds and not all of it was muscle.

He had been a bit on the skinny side 6 months before. If he had said

hi to me it might have helped a bit, but he didn't. Maybe he didn't

recognize me either! This was back when my brothers lived with my dad

and I lived with my mom and we were all a bit estranged.
