I was intrigued to learn that today is the Day of The Tiger.
It's especially interesting to me because I had an older brother who was given the nickname "Tiger" when he was in high school.
Apparently it was bestowed on him by a coach for his ferocity on the basketball court, the baseball diamond or the football field.
As I recall, he wasn't particularly talented but he didn't let that stand in his way.
He played with passion, shall we say.
He was 7 years older than I was and my only sibling and in our younger days we were constant companions.
When he was involved with sports in high school I used to follow him around to practices and that same coach nicknamed me "Little Tiger".
That became "Little Tige" and later I changed it to "Cougar".
At any rate, here we are.

I swear they've always gotten you shoveling snow as a kid. Was that about 9 months a year?
Great that he lived a long life. And that the age gap didn't stop you from being friends. Two nice guys
LL, we took August off.
Thanks, Boud!
What a touching post! I’m glad you were friends.
A great and lovely post.
A wonderful post, Bruce. I'm glad that you could overcome the age gap to have a close relationship and that you have fond memories of him.
Wait a minute! Are those mutton chops? I know I'm missing the whole thrust of this post but the photos of you are distracting!
Indeed they are. This was the 80's, the Disco Era!
Nice tribute to the big brother!
Interesting photos of two brothers. Clothing and activities are similar to what I experienced.
