Billy Got the Call

I just found out that my brother, Billy, got the call to be the new backup goalie for the Unionville varsity lacrosse team!

Woot for the former backup varsity lacrosse goalie and his terrible grades that have forced him off the team!!!

Anyway, I'm really proud of him (as a freshman) getting on the varsity team. Billy said that he's glad this came up so he can take advantage of the opportunity. Awww. And then he asked my mom to bring extra Gatorade.

p.s.  this is one of my favorite photos of him - being silly with a lobster on our last Cape Cod trip

Ovaltine

I need to mention that my brother, Billy, is also a fan of chocolate milk (well, Ovaltine). So much so that he has the nickname/rapper name "Milk-drinka". But while I enjoy my beverage (with Nesquik) only on the special occasion, Billy drinks milk or Ovaltine chocolate milk multiple times a day, out of a gargantuan souvenir cup purchased from a game of one of the following sports teams: Philadelphia Flyers, Boston Red Sox, or Baltimore Orioles. (Maybe I should mention that my "little" brother is 6 feet tall and a high school wrestler and lacrosse goalie.) I'm pretty sure my parents go through at least 5 gallons of milk a week and nearly an entire jar of Ovaltine. He also is very particular about the brand of 1% organic milk my parents buy for his milk-drinking habit and is able to do a blind taste test of all the regional milk varieties. Hey, at least he's not drinking soda!

UPDATE: My mom informed me that the 5 gallon/week estimate was low. It's more like 7.5 gallons a week!
