Travel Day

 Uh huh, MB and I are on the road   . . . again!

We are visiting the WADaps* because their youngest is a HS Senior and has a role in his school’s musical. It’s our final opportunity to see him perform. We’ll be back again next month for his graduation at the hockey arena. 

It has taken me some time to realize that I don’t mind not driving. It’s kinda nice to step back. 

* designates the Washington state branch of MB’s family. The other branches are WisDaps, OHDaps, and CalDaps. Then there are my extended bunch, the WAshers, Flashers, and CAShers. Still others don’t yet have acronyms yet.

I haven’t stopped

 I just don’t seem to have time for this. 

Do I miss it?  Yes!

But I would miss the other things I do now even more if I was doing this.

So…

 In the update I didn’t post, I forgot to mention that the renewal date for my drivers license was rearing its ugly presence. 

I followed the instructions the DMV sent me; took their drivers course, along with the short quizzes; discovered how to make an appointment, which was an age requirement; and drove down there last Monday morning. 

I am sure glad I was able to schedule the appointment. I only had to wait in line for twenty minutes to be referred to a testing window. Then I only had to wait another twenty, or so, minutes to see a clerk, who verified the information submitted online,  gave me a vision test, and referred me to another window where I waited about another ten minutes to have my photo taken.

I was then given a piece of paper that extended my current license for an extra month. 

all that for $45
