Nerdy Boy Web Log: Earth Date: December 10, 2005

Hello,

I am Nerdy Boy's estranged half brother, I'm in town for a visit, and Nerdy Boy has asked me to write his blog for today, while he is in the hospital. Yesterday night, mother had him shoveling the driveway, and he slipped on some ice and fell. The doctors say it's nothing too serious, and he should be completely recovered and out of the hospital by tomorrow.

I'll tell you the story of how Nerdy Boy (real name is Tim) and I came to be brothers. Nerdy Boy was born 43 years ago. When Nerdy Boy was about 2 years old, his mom was having an affair with a man named Arthur Robinson. One day she found out she was pregnant. Tim/Nerdy Boy's dad had been away on business for the last month, so when he got home and found out the she was pregnant he was furious. He left the house and Nerdy Boy never saw him again. When I was born, my mom couldn't afford to take care of us both, so she put me up for adoption. I spent most of my life living in foster homes. When I was 18, I started looking for my mother, and after hiring a private investigator, I found her. I am now a computer programmer and I live in Dallas, Texas with my wife and kids. I come to visit my mom and my brother every couple of years. I'm sure Nerdy Boy will tell you more about his father, when he comes back tomorrow, even though he doesn't like to talk about it much. I guess that's all for today.

Trivia: In 1873 Colgate made a toothpaste that was available in a jar.

Joke: Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly and for the same reason.
