Some of you met him at the spring track day and he is basically my mini me only 37yrs younger. Of all my siblings Mitch and I do a lot together and have a ton in common. We even think and say the same things at the same time - that freaks me out at times and other times makes me very happy and proud. He has excellent work ethic and although I'm an hours drive away we are working together on the same project. It is so comforting to know he's there doing a good job with very little supervision. I'm going to be lost for a week or so when he leaves but on a positive note I'm excited for his future. Yesterday he asked me if I was going to help him move. I said "What your two bags of clothing?" He replied "Kinda." I again replied "Of course I will!"
