My kid brother, David, turns 20 tomorrow, and in 20 years, I have never been so proud of him as I was last night, when I went to see him in his first real acting gig, as Clifford (the lead), in Warren Leight's Side Man. And he was good. Not just good, but spectacular.

David's always been a good kid. Smart, good looking enough that if he wasn't my brother I'd have a crush on him, funny, easy-going, athletic. Despite all that, I've always been a bit worried about him. He comes up wih these crazy ideas sometimes, and his attention span is too similar to mine, in that he gets really excited about something at first, in short-lived bursts that fizzle out soon after. After last night, I am no longer worried. The kid seems to have found his niche.

And I couldn't be more proud.
