When You Read to Your Kids...

This is only sort of off topic, but I want to give a shout-out to my sister Loni Coombs, who was a prosecuting attorney for L.A. for many years and is now doing legal commentary on television--you may have seen her on episodes of KTLA News, Court TV or The Dr. Phil Show recently. (Here's an older clip.)

So, first of all, I'm proud of her, and second, look what happens when you take your children to the library EVERY SINGLE WEEK! Which is what my mom did with the seven of us (all adopted, multi-ethnic, so Loni and I look nothing alike). You might just end up with a children's book writer and an articulate television personality with an impressive legal career under her belt!
