Good for you, jwazzie.


Off topic, but I was at a charity event a couple of nights ago, and there was a guy with Down's Syndrome sitting at the next table. The fascinating thing to me was that he was with another guy who I'm guessing was his brother, and possibly even his twin brother, but without Down's Syndrome. I don't know how to say this properly or with correct sensitivity, but if you took away the classic Down's Syndrome features from the one guy, the resemblance to the other guy would've been uncanny. I know that you couldn't have identical twins where one has Down's and the other doesn't, but is it possible to have fraternal twins with that distinction? I would think so. Anyway, it was an interesting case study and kind of made me wonder about the different paths their lives may have taken because of one tiny difference that occurred in utero.

Plus, the sound system at the event was really bad and I couldn't understand the speakers, so I had lots of time to think.
