LEFT Me & Myron RIGHT Me with

with  SOPHIA                             CLARISSA

November 2000                                 September 2000

    Sophia lives with her mothers in San Francisco.

      Clarissa lives with her mother and Grandmother

     in Los Angeles. Sophia looks like my father's

     side of the family, the Melungeons, and VERY

      much like her mother who is African American/

      Creole -- a similar multi-racial group. Clarissa

      looks like the Irish side -- like me and my mother.

      Clarissa is ten weeks older than Sophia. And,

      yes, duh, both are my biological daughters.

This is my favorite picture

of Clarissa, taken in a park

in Alhambra when she was

six months old. I don't see

Clarissa as often as I would

like due to problems with her

mother.

Here's Sophia on her

second birthday, looking

as happy and beautiful

and well-loved as she is.

On June 13, 2003, my first son,

Diego, was born. He is a quarter

Mohawk, a quarter TexMex and

half whatever-the-hell I am.

What an incredible heritage,

and how very lucky I have been!

His moms are a wonderful couple

who live much too far away...

Max and Sophia

On Cinco de Mayo, 2004,
twin girls were born in
Pennsylvania -- the last
children who will carry my
somewhat complex genes.
The clinic with which I have
done my daddying has a
limit of four kids, but the
twins slipped in an extra.
