Happy Birthday, Scott!

My brother, Scott, is celebrating his birthday today! He's showing some mini-food from the Minibar.

HEY READERS: THIS IS A PERSONAL BLOG POST; NOTHING RELATED TO CHARITY AUCTIONS.

But the good news is that you can read about helpful benefit auction ideas here or here …

… or the best idea is to sign-up on the right to receive a F*R*E*E Auction Item Guide and e-zine. (You’ll love it … everyone does.)

Fish at an Ethiopian restaurant, before we devoured it.

Once a year, my brother Scott makes the trek from Iowa to D.C. to attend a work conference. It’s always in May. It’s always held in the city. And it always means he and I get some enjoy some cool sibling time in the city at a fun restaurant.

Dining at the totally cool Minibar. 2 seatings a night. 6 guests per seating. 32 courses. 30 days advance booking.

Today is my brother’s birthday. Like many people with December birthdays, I think he’s gotten the shaft when it comes to gifts and birthday parties.

So today (with his permission), I thought I’d plaster his face on the blog and wish him a public “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!”

Scott and I share the same vocal patterns, same gestures, and generally sound similar. Our laugh is similar. Our sense of humor is similar. If someone spends time around us, it becomes clear we were raised in the same family.

Ethiopian platter of food was sooo good.

One of Scott’s college friends lived with me in D.C. during an internship. “It’s so weird to talk with you, Sherry,” he would say, “I feel like I’m talking to the female version of Scott. Or Scott …. in drag.”

Anyhow, for a visual element on this blog, I decided to share some of the dinner photos from the last two years.

Enjoy your day, Scott! And I hope the next year is filled with more laughter, love, and personal accomplishments.
