I do not usually look this good or this bad, depending on your politics, to quote the late lamented Leonard Cohen.

Today a “cat blog” sort of post.
Today is my brother Alessandro’s 40th birthday.
Alex – aka the thin, better-looking of the Mana Bros – is a musician, musical promoter, and online radio DJ, with a sideline in Orientalism, and he’s an amateur Ripperologist.
He’s been my partner in crime in a number of projects for ages, and usually acts as a sounding board for my ideas ond ventures.
I act as his personal reality check.
