This isn't a joke -- I just thought it was interesting that I could say exactly the same thing. And have it be true. My Aunt Sue reads my blog, too.

In fact, I have even mentioned these 5 things (or variations) to several other people over the years. About the variations...You were playing the horn and the piano from age 3, when you learned to read. The zero thing became a school-wide project. The Hans Solo event was just as you mentioned. Every prestigious school accepted you for admission. You almost went to Brown. And maybe I never talked about the long walk, but I was aware of the accomplishment. I am a good aunt.

When walking Broadway, only outlaws will walk Broadway.

I probably knew about the Europe thing, but remember more clearly the story about the Greek islands when he had a fever and [censored details that I'll let Will share if he choses too]. I was probably told the Boston short story and Cape Cod stories, but forgot them. My defense is that those times were pretty much immediately post college and so when I saw Will I was either drunk or miserable about some girl whom it turns out had no place in my future anyway.
