Alysa

You know, some days these kids do an amazing job of reminding me why I try so hard.

. . . And sometimes they remind me of just how frustrated a person can get.

This is Alysa, the oldest of my four younger brothers and sisters. (I also have two older brothers.) You'll probably be seeing more of them.

Moments after I shot this, I caught her sneaking out of the house with a few rolled cigarettes to try to sell them to a minor down the street. Sigh. Kids these days. Heh.
