Twin Disclaimer

Rockin' out - Folsom ABCT 2002

If you are not a twin, please do not ask me what it is like to be a twin... that is the same as me asking you what it is like to notbe a twin.  I do not know what it is like... it is just how it is.  The next time you see a twin, don't ask that question.

Just in case you don't know this already, identical twins are not genetic and are caused when one cell is split into two.  The term, identical, as it relates to twins, does not refer to our appearance.  Our similar appearance is a natural by-product of being twins.  Also, since it is not genetic, we have no more chance of fathering twins than non-twins.

No. Mike and I have never tricked girlfriends or wives.  Although, there was one time, years ago, when I just met Dawn, that Mike and went into the men's room at Pizza Hut, changed clothes and then I went and asked Dawn's friend, April, if Dawn liked Matt.  She didn't know right away and gave me the confidence to go after (and some say stalk) Dawn.  You may think that we look so much alike that no one could possibly figure us out however, people we are intimate with can usually tell the difference.

Of course our parents could tell us apart... after all, they have known us a long time.  That is also a stupid question.  If one of our parents called us by the wrong name is was because there were so many kids it was hard to tell.  For years, I thought my name was really MikeKenJrLanceMatt.

Mike could not dress like me and walk into my work and convince people he was me.  He would have no idea where the TPS reports went.  (Let me know if you get that one)

We are not a freak show, but if you want us to entertain you we certainly have several tricks up our sleeves.

Never, ever, under any circumstance, with any cause or not, regardless of manpower, resource or weaponry, pick a fight with a twin.  This goes for almost any twin!  You get in my face, you'll have two twins in yours quicker than you can rub your eyes to do a double-take.    That might not be fair, but that's the way it is.  Mike is my best friend and my brother, and my Mom always told me that I was my brother's keeper.

Yes, we do have "twin power"... I do not know how to explain it, we just do.

To set the record straight, Mike is the older one... by two minutes.

I Know! It's Been a While

... well, only a month! But what a month indeed, December flew by... ChristmasEve and New Years have passed... what a fast year. Nothing rings in the new year quite like the G&M combo birthday party! So, check out the picture pages... there's plenty of catching up to do. So, first, Merry Christmaspage0_1 page0_2 page0_3 and nothin' says Christmas like new babies... there's plenty of pics of Audrey... since she just loves having a camera in front of her... she's such happy baby... probably because she is always thinking about her favorite uncle (Matt) and aunt (Dawn).

Hockey in Stockton?

Given the choice between soccer and hockey, we’d take soccer. Add arena football to the equation and we’d take that every day of the week. We really enjoyed going to Ports games at the old park but fell in love with the new ballpark on the waterfront. This made sense.

Hockey, though? In Stockton?

Well, we decided to go the second game at the arena tonight and let me tell you, we are cynics no more!

The Stockton Thunder is, hands down, the best entertainment value in Stockton. We have never watched hockey before but quickly caught on. Even the girls loved the game. At the end of the second period we got up to leave. That was, until the couple sitting next to us educated us. We had no idea there was three periods.

Throughout the final period, Emily and Makenzy were on their feet, cheering on their new favorite team.

I can tell we’re going to be seeing a lot more of these guys. The play is awesome. The entertainment is great. The crowds are better than anything else in Stockton.

This is exactly what Stockton has been begging for.

Now given the choice, we’ll take hockey every day!

Kudos to Dan Chapman for putting together another winner!

Go Thunder!

Jaguars Tourney - Galt

The Stockton Jaguars played a tournament in Galt this weekend. Saturday's game was early and brrrrr cold... it was the closest to sub-zero we get in this area... the ground was like ice! Sadly, they lost all three games... but they are now hungry for revenge... especially since they lost to Turlock and Modesto... two teams they had never lost to this year! More tourneys in January in Pleasanton... and they are itchin' to get back to where there were before... 2nd place in the Roseville Tournament and 1st in the Stockton Tournament.page0_11 page0_12

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! What a great Thanksgiving... great food, hanging out with the family. Some of the boys went over to the high school and tried to prove who could kick the longest field goal, even though none of us had any real experience kicking a football. Check out pictures here.page0_13

Some of the cousins... wow... these girls are getting older and older!
