hey, hey, you, you
‘Tis the season, I suppose. “Matej”:http://www.matejnovak.com/blog/000772.html#000772 is starting to get back into driving again, and I passed my first-ever in-car driving test on Friday. It wasn’t a “Ministry test”:http://www.drivetest.ca/en/license/drivertesting.aspx, so I’m still not really a very well-licensed driver, but the combination of the YD collision-avoidance skills test and the “simulated Ministry test” left me feeling pretty good about the whole thing. Time to schedule my road test, if you can believe that.
(I haven’t mentioned, I suppose, that we have a car now. Mike and Kristen very, very generously donated their pasture-bound Escort — affectionately known as “Kermit” in spite of a slight colour mismatch — for my practice and errand-running pleasure, when they bought their spiffy new Kia. It’s been outrageously helpful to actually have a car around in which I can shuttle Tyla about the city like the princess she is, and also, coincidentally, get in lots of wheel time. Thanks, guys!)
We’re going to drive up to Markham tomorrow to visit the family for Dad’s birthday celebration, and from his enthusiasm on the phone it sounded like he’s at least as excited about the prospect of having me driving as about the actual visit. I’m sure that was just some reception problem with the cordless, though.
