10 Things I Miss About My Brother: 1)  Subway "Executive Lunches" at my place when he had his deliveries done, I had my video editing done, and we both "played hookey" from work, watched a movie or laid out at my pool talking and basking in the sun 2)  Golf with my dad, "speed golf" with my sister's ex-boyfriend Chris and golf cart races back to the clubhouse3)  His Dazzling Good Looks--the ladies loved him4)  His selfless, giving attitude-he gave of his time, fixing other people's cars (trying to save them a few bucks from going to a shop--I tried never to take advantage of my brother in this or any other way, even though he volunteered to fix my car too), doling out money to help his ex-wife (even though she had a boyfriend who was just too damn lazy to work for money to pay the bills--don't get me started) and girlfriends who were financially struggling5)  Calling him when I got lost in Miami, knowing that he'd have directions--he delivered wine all over that area--he was my flesh-and-blood GPS6)  Working out at my place to Ted Nugent-Great Gonzos or ZZ Top's Greatest Hits7)  Reciting our favorite funny movie lines together (his favorite impersonations were Clint Eastwood, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Eddie Murphy)8)  His Delicious Cook-Outs (A delectable salad with Newman's Own Italian Dressing followed by Steak on the Grill with Busch's Baked Beans and canned corn, followed by Enteman's chocolate chip cookies and whole milk were his favorite delicacy, as well as the occasional blend of Butterball turkey sausage, beans, sliced onions, sliced tomatoes and chili powder he affectionately called "fart stew", because of the aftermath, which I in particular was famous for--(during a movie) WHEW!  Mike!  Leave the room, for God's sake!  That's inhuman!)9)  His "need for speed"--he owned a classic '69 Chevy Chevelle, which didn't look like much but she had it where it counts, kid, UNDER THE HOOD.  V8 with a blower and modified exhaust system for maximum power and efficiency.  That car wasn't happy until she purred at 90+ miles an hour.  She reaked of gasoline emmissions, but she got us to North Carolina and back to his buddy Terry's, as well as Busch Gardens Tampa and many other destinations many, many times.10)  His love for his daughter

I understand what it is like to lose a sibling. My sister died in 1999. She fell from a balcony. My heart still aches and I miss her very much. She was my best friend. It just sucks. I never thought of making a list like this. I think it is a great idea.
