Greg came over and dropped off the bulk of his little used winter running gear. Likely used only 2-3 times. All high quality stuff.

Glad to recieve, sad to have gotten. Sad

So because you're twins, does that mean you have similar taste in clothes? I'm having flashbacks to a certain pair of psychedelic shorts I remember seeing you in.

The tights I got at least 2 winters out of. They were real nice one's too. Was one of my best deals I ever haggled at an expo. Almost as good as my BSR Thorlo Deal

I know my stuff is going to put to good use. Enjoy.

At the risk of being insensitive to Cappy, Joe there are ALOT worse ways to inherit stuff.

The fact that you still have him is a blessing. Use them well.

That was very nice of Greg to do and I'm sure it was hard as well.

Do you have anything in the back of your closet from the early 80's you could give to him? That would be a nice gesture.

well a few things to consider,

you got some really cool stuff, FREE.

it's not becuase your brother is becomng a couch potatoe, he has swtich sports due to his ailment, INSTEAD of just giving in.

use those clothes while training to think of him, inspirationn no matter how you get it is a VERY valuable thing
