The King and I

First, if Kris had a twin brother who didn't really look anything like him- Whoa, wait a minute- if Kris had ANOTHER twin brother who didn't really look anything like him it would be Nathan Brown, the King of Dairy.
Kris and Nate, Block Island, July 4, 2004
Nathan grew up on a dairy farm in southwest Virginia; Roanaoke style. And he looks like he did too, robustly healthy, strong bones, good teeth; the works. Nathan knows everything there is to know about milk. And cheese. And birthing calves with chains and come alongs.
Anyway; Nathan loves milk; and I really love milk. I think Ben's bones are being formed solely by the milk I drink every day. Let me tell you, once that milk chug gets going it does not stop until the glass is empty. We'll be enjoying a nice dinner and then the milk beast comes out, I will drink all of my milk, reach across the table and drink half of Kris' milk before I even take a breath. And then I'm sheepish, very sheepish and sporting a milk mustache. Embarassing.

Wow. So amazing that your body will tell you what it needs! I cannot imagine gulping down a whole glass of milk...
