My brother Andy is a seriously funny guy. For instance, he wrote a piece in the North Shore News the other day that managed to capture the holiday magic of an annual ritual in the Prest family. As an added bonus, it sort of mentions me by name.
As for me, most of the stuff I write isn’t so funny. Instead, it uses sentences like “…insofar as such states may experience limited, though persistent and highly disruptive outbreaks of violence, which in turn an only be understood in the context of broader and ultimately more fundamental questions regarding the underlying fragility of the state.” Leacock, it ain’t. Though I suppose Leacock wasn’t funny all the time, either. Anyways, kudos to my bro for finding a way to get paid to write entertaining stuff.
