While NPR is talking about how today is 1 year since Arnold was elected the Governor of California, I'm remembering waking up to a phone call from my sister who was trying to tell me through tears that my oldest brother, Stuart, was in the hospital. He died later that day.

He used to call me "Brain Boy."

He helped pay for my college education.

Whenever I'm working at 100% intensity on something, I refer to it as being in "Stuart-mode."

He was always larger than life.

I miss him a lot.
