Rai of San Francisco

Rai, we are always on the lookout for potential career options for you. Recently, professional wrestler and bounty hunter have come up. Park ranger and conductor have always been a consideration as have comedian and mattress tester. Of course, we'd be thrilled if you ended up being a mathematician, scientist or teacher. Art critic is pretty high on the list too. On the other hand, we've ruled out train conductor entirely.
The other day, while putting your sleeping dress on there was that moment when the dress was caught on your head. At first, everything went dark, the shirt covered your face entirely and we could see your nose digging for a way out. Then, as your eyes found the neck hole of the dress, there was that perennially cute moment when we could see just your eyes staring out at us through the hole.
At that moment, I had a bit of deja vu, as if I had experienced this very moment sometime before. Where had I seen a pair of wide, captivating eyes staring out from the folds of a headcover before? Lawrence of Arabia. Peter O'Toole. Those eyes and that film captivated audiences around the world and still do.
With that moment, a revelation, a very probable new career option for you: actor. Your eyes are just as intense and memorable as are Peter O'Toole's and you certainly are an entertaining performer. Now, we just have to work on the acting part although you seem to have started some of that already. Just another option for you, little guy.
