Glad that I was able to contribute to your learning an important life lesson. That is what older brothers are for. Maybe I will post my reflections on this happening from my perspective. Your retelling brought me a smile.

It sometimes pays to be a nerd. Growing up in northeast Georgia with no car and little money, I just went to school, attempted to play sports, worked at part time jobs, and read. When I moved to Atlanta to start engineering school, I still had no money and worked every other school quarter to pay my way. When I was investigated for a top-secret security clearance, the only black mark was that my sister, who was married and working at the local bank, told the investigators I was a pain in the neck. She finally told them I was her older brother.
