Well, while I didn't spend it in Italy with a totally hot young PhD student, I did spend it with my girls in Long Beach. Aidan, (12 on left,) Amy, (19 on right,) on the beach on Christmas eve. There are few places on earth more spectacular, IMNHO. Not taken by me, but by a good friend. I think Morgan, 11, was out filling her boots full of sea water....

In a most fatherly way, Rick, those are two beautiful girls there. That would be a good picture to print off nicely, frame, and put somewhere in your home. The surroundings look mahvelous.

Hey Rick,
is that in BC? I think I've been there with my dad in 2002 - truly spectacular. The world is full of amazing places, indeed.
Your girls look happy. That's a terrific accomplishment for a dad, you know?

Every time I see their smiling faces, J, I feel most fine. It is indeed in BC, on the wild outside coast of Vancouver Island. VI, I love this picture - I think I need to get one of those rotating digital picture frames for the desk. The shot was the girls idea. And yes, even taking into account the fact that I'm their dad, they are beautiful girls, as is the younger one. I can always brag, as I'm in no way responsible for their looks. I just got lucky....

I had almost made the obnoxious comment that there are no genetic links, but erased that line when I couldn't find the simile of the head ducking the thrown tomato.

Nothing obnoxious about it, at least as far as we're concerned. We can joke about it - we discuss adoption with the girls all the time.
I used to wonder why everyone in the school knew who we were. As my wife says, we're the family that doesn't match. There's no hiding, pretending, avoiding anything in our clan. And it's excellent.

I love Long Beach, it's such a beautiful place. Photos of families having fun together always make me happy. The girls look great Rick, and like they're having a fantastic time.
