In commemoration of the big 4-0, here is a place for all of us to ruminate, iterate, initiate....our thoughts and memories about Michael. But don't hesitate, time is short.

Match Game

Hello there.

Rumor has it that prior to rising to prominence at Wally World, Michael tried his hand at another job. As this was prior to my initiation into the world of all things Trum/Lupi/Blystone, I am not sure of the details. However, I have heard it had something to do with dolls.

Keep in mind that my knowledge of dolls is limited. I consider my Star Wars collection (the original trilogy) as action figures. They are completely different.

However, knowing the ins and outs of the doll world would make Michael perfectly suited to match the following dolls and/or action figures with his family members that I happen to know. Specifically: Marie, Kip, Christine, Kelly, Rich, Brad, Allen, Josh, Taylor, Nicole, Parker.

I encourage each of you to let your imaginations run wild and match them up accordingly. Caution: There may be a few extras that could easily be applied to more than 1 family member.

Before you ask, my answers are under lock and key. I will tell you this, out of respect for the big 40, I did not include Michael. However, I could have had a field day.








































Any similarities to persons; real or imagined, is purely coincidental.

My Brother Michael

I have a little brother. His name is Michael. He is going to turn 40 very soon. Which makes me...well a little older.

I met a woman the other day who had just met Michael and she said she loved him. Everyone who meets Michael just LOVES him. Why is that? His quick wit? No. His mad dancing skills. Not likely. His unexplained, deep and passionate love for ketchup? I don't think that's it either.

I have a theory. But you probably all have theories too. I thought that in honor of this upcoming momentous occassion, we might explore that as people these days explore topics of interest - publicly and on the internet.

Don't get me wrong....I don't expect this to be a love fest for goodness sakes! I'm sure that most of our musings will start off with some nice sentimental thought but will quickly transform into a memory along these lines - Michael lying on the floor fast asleep after eating a holiday meal while his sisters gently place as many napkin rings as possible (in the shapes of animals) all over his body.

I have a theory. What's yours?
