Re: I'm A Grandfather Again!

Thanks, Marla. Justin (jtx here) and Rika are very proud and happy parents. Here are a couple of photos taken on Saturday, the last time we saw little Kai before heading back to Alaska. He was asleep the entire time we were visiting Saturday, but he's beautiful whether asleep or awake. ...

Re: Special Announcement

With your help, you (and other members) can be a part of the solution, gonzo. A board such as this requires a "community" effort for success. I'm trying to do my part. Others have stepped up to the plate, too.

Re: I'm A Grandfather Again!

Here is a photo of Sophie (4) holding her new cousin, Kai, and a shot I took at our hotel in Pasadena a little while later. She usually goes to bed about 8:30, but she was so wound up with excitement that she was up until midnight! https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3888/14144716960_7c8580949f_...

Re: I'm A Grandfather Again!

Thanks for the nice comments, everyone! Darren's two children are not in jeopardy of taking a back seat to Kai, and are very cool with the idea of a new cousin ... especially Sophie. She's been a "junior mommy", begging to hold Kai, and very adoring and attentive. She accompanied ...

Re: I'm A Grandfather Again!

Thanks. Justin & Rika are both doing well. Rika's Mother is visiting from Japan, which is a help in many ways. Kai is very mellow, and is already tracking well with his eyes, so he seems ahead of his age in some ways. He was just 15 days old when we met him on Friday. We didn't see him ...

You're not alone in that thought process, my friend. It's especially mind-blowing when contrasted with what actions and practices don't result in prison time.

Frankly, I'm shocked at the sentence. To say that he is a compassionate judge would be an understatement.
