As you can see ...

... we were riding the Metrolink earlier today. Brendan loves trains, so we took the Metrolink downtown, and then turned around and rode it right back. A total of six bucks for the family roundtrip, and a pleasant time guaranteed for all. Public transportation at its best.

Last night, we had a great time at the Billiken basketball game. What's a Billiken? According to Brendan, it's a "FUNNY looking piggy!" One of the cheerleaders thought Brendan was cute, so she gave him a souvenir basketball. This led me to the realization that I've crossed the threshold from hoping that the cheerleaders think I'm cute, to hoping that the cheerleaders will think my kids are cute. Sigh.
