Linear Miles

March 2007. I went to Washington D.C. to see The Who in concert with Dad, Steve Redder, Josh Gabber and Jack Gabber. The concert was awesome.

Comparing the Twins

I'm going to compare Jack Gabber to Josh Gabber. Of the two twins, Jack was the calmer of the two. Josh would panic over a broken vacuum every bit as much as he would a self-service bay being broken. There's always a nervous energy to Josh. Jack Gabber was not that way. Both brothers were smokers.... Sign in to see full entry.
