Weeeeelll, UK Elephant will point out to anyone who asks that we spoiled the Baby Bear. Of course, relative to first kids, all later kids get spoiled. It's the first kid who teaches us we don't have to be so up-tight about everything. But on the whole, both big sister and baby brother have turned out ok. Big sister maybe a bit overly responsible and baby brother a bit overly laid back, but both very sweet and kind-hearted and not only taller but also better looking than their parents.

The ride home was sweet. All down hill so no exercize value, and straight into the setting sun so I had to ride the brakes not to outrun the stretch of road I could see, but still nice to be back on wheels. Tomorrow I ride both ways and get some cardio workout while also saving time (relative to walking).
