Tipping my pint glass to family.

Today was a day to celebrate one's Irish heritage, however authentic that might be. However, today I tip my proverbial glass of alcoholic glory to my brother, who just received an offer for a research position at Harvard. Congratulations, younger brother.

Because I was miles away I could not take a picture of the sheer glee that was undoubtedly strewn across his face. Digging deep into my collection, I chose the photo of him that probably best captures his current state of childish ecstasy.

Congrats, buddy. You absolutely deserve it. We're all very proud of you.
