Attainable Aspirations

A quick trip to our freakingly huge local Longs Drug store reminded me of an episode back when our girl was 3:

Izzy: (Pointing at a nursery fountain, having just downed a Top Dog) "Can I have a coin? I want to go make a wish."
Me: "That's not really a wishing well, but OK. Here's a penny."

Me: "So what did you just wish for?"
Izzy: "Ice cream."

Fathers Day Moment

I don't get no respect from the big girl.

Settling the Family Business

Lucy points out that according to "The Godfather," the safest place to be during a baptism, is the baptism.

Sunday! Sunday! Sundaaay!!

Lucy and I headed on up to Sears Point (or Infineon. Monster. AT&T. Whatever.) Raceway for a darned fine morning at the Audi Driving Experience event. Tremendous amounts of fun all for free, and we were back in time to pick up the kid at school, wearing big grins.

The race instructors had us hustling the big A8 around like Ronin...


... and took us out for couple of laps behind the wheels of a new S5. Woo-hoo!


Lucy started to film my track laps, but stopped when she got nauseous. Clearly, the Audi Driving Experience is not so good as a passenger.

Yo, Funny Man! Over here!

Someone once told me that toddlers are great to have around, because by the time they're 2 1/2 to 3 years old, "It's like having a sidekick."

I've since realized that it's actually the other way around.
