Family resemblance

I got a call that my younger brother was in the hospital so I left work early and trotted down to see him. When I walked into his room I got a shock at the stranger in the bed. I haven't seen my brother in almost a year and he's been treated for cancer - now in remission - and was presently in to have two more stents put in him. He was heavier, paler and completely bald. It took me a moment to realize he was the splitting image of my Uncle Frank who was always bald.

I never saw any family resemblance in my younger brother until that point. It was remarkable. I look like my mom, my older brother is like my dad but my younger brother? I puzzled for years where in the family tree he came from.

He's recovering and going home today. My older brother showed up after a time and we all yucked it up for about an hour and a half. So, I guess all is well for the moemnt.

Woke dancing?

Via NY Times:

"The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts named Stephen Nakagawa, a former dancer with the Washington Ballet, as its director of dance programming on Monday, shortly after firing the department’s previous leader and declaring that its programming would be moving in a new direction."

"Mr. Nakagawa had written a letter.... in which he noted his support for the Trump administration and complained about “radical leftist ideologies in ballet,”" "

Hubba what?

"Mr. Grenell had urged them to come up with programming that was more “broadly appealing,” providing as an example the TV show “So You Think You Can Dance.”"

Hmmm, so it won't be all goose stepping, polkas and waltzes? In tRump's next move, the symphony orchestra will be replaced by Kid Rock and an Oompa band.
