    Well, you don't seem like the type of parent who would be offended by someone else who'd prefer to have a bike than kids, but I wanted to cover my bases just in case
    "How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

    Random babblings and some stuff to look at.

    I think my bikes give me more consistent pleasure than my kids do

    Yup, just graduated HS and will be going to University of Maryland. I think Sammi will blossom when he's gone

    you mean she hasn't blossomed yet? sorry to keep talking about your kids but I think Sammi sounded like a bunch of fun and comfortable in her own skin- something I can't say about every teen I meet.

    congrats to the young lad.

    Her brother seems to take delight in beating her down, belittling all her accomplishments, etc. I think with him away she will come into her own.
