Back in Pathetica

A long time ago, Rai, you made your first trip down to Pacifica. Back then I wrote about how some call Pacifica 'Pathetica', a name it does not deserve. Just minutes from the big city, Pacifica is a beautiful town of green hills, forests, and Pacific beaches. What's not to love?
Today, we were back in Pathetic -- whoops -- Pacifica. Your Mom's old friend Gretchen was having a housewarming party at her new home. As soon as we got the address, we knew that it would be a beautiful place. Up on the slopes of the south most hill in Pacifica, the home has incredible views over the valley and to the Ocean. The best, however, is that it is completely surrounded on all sides by a thick forest of eucalyptus.
Still, the highlight of the visit for you was spending some time with Elsa, Gretchen's beautiful daughter. You both enjoyed hanging out in the yard. At 20 months, Elsa is quite a bit older, though, and she knows it. To her, you were just a little baby. Just as you were getting comfortable in that great kid-sized lawn chair, she gave you the boot. As you sat embarrassed in the grass, she hardly gave you the time of day. She's not into younger men, I guess.
