As many of you know, I turned 50 a week ago or so. (200 in base 5 as previously noted.)
Today, I learned for the first time that I had a twin! We were separate at birth but actually came into contact several times over the years with neither of us knowing that we were twins - or I assume neither of us. I know I didn't find out until tonight.
My twin has been all over and has been a part of more people's lives than I have, and that is saying a fair bit. I think it is not even close! Their lives have been colored by the interaction and my twin helped many of them to be able to mold their lives.
I am amused at how little we look alike, in truth. Barely even a superficial resemblance. In some ways, my twin looks to be in better shape, in other ways less so. I suspect it is circumstances at work rather than an innate difference. I'm putting a picture behind the cut.
Certainly, my twin has been more fiscally successful than I have ever dreamt of being. I swear, that is a lot of dough!
