This afternoon, we received an unexpected phone call. Apparently, our Honda CR-V had been caught passing through a red light by a red light camera. Typically, this would be a routine
procedure -- a photo and ticket would be sent by mail. However, upon closer inspection, the photo of our car revealed something odd, something that warranted a phone call from the San Francisco Police Department. Not only had our Honda passed through a red light, it was also clear in the photo that it had been taken out for a joy ride. The passenger was not buckled in and was actually
standing up with their head out the sunroof! Worse yet, the driver was a toddler under the age of two.
That's right, Rai and Ko, instead of playing outside like they had told us they were doing, had slipped away with the keys to the car and took it for a little joyride in downtown S.F. I guess this is something that all parents deal with at some point, but we didn't expect to see this happen until the boys were teenagers. I guess all that "play driving" that both Rai and Ko have been doing lately gave them some ideas. We'll have to hide our keys...
destination for those seeking a bit of coastal isolation yet far enough from San Francisco that it remains just that: isolated. We don't go there often, but every time we have made the trip, we've ended up walking miles and miles of amazing beach all by ourselves. Today, it was just the four of us walking along Drake's Beach, marveling at those towering cliffs.

others are plain as day. Rai and Ko are fair skinned and have golden hair. It's safe to assume that that comes from their Mom. They're both good looking -- Mom. Rai's pretty smart -- Mom, too. Ko looks to be quite the couch potato -- yup, Mom. Did they get anything from Dad? We haven't found it yet.
older than Ko as she is younger than Rai, Siri can play with either of them equally well! The best thing about Siri is that she is British and will certainly soon exhibit a very cute accent. Ashe has always been more than just a little jealous of our GPS avatar, a cute British lady 
whose accent is simply stunning so, since Dad has had his British mistress for a while now, it's great that Rai and Ko now have a real live British lady to call a friend. What can we say, our little boys are quite the global citizens, aren't they?! (let's not mention that Siri lives in the Presidio with us, just up the road)
many aging people pull: he is claiming to be younger than he really is. The latest attempt at this was him putting a "Big Brother" t-shirt on Ko while wearing a "Little Bro" t-shirt himself. Aging is tough, Rai. Just wait until you're the real 35!
