Or so I thought! I have been driving for over 32 years. In that time, I have shown that I’m a pretty good driver. Being a pretty good driver probably means that you know the rules and regulations of the road, right? Well, not so fast. What you think and what you actually know are two totally different things. At least when it comes to the driver’s exams.
My daughter just turned 15 years old. Later this week she is going to be taking her driver’s permit test. She said she’s nervous about it and I really didn’t understand why. I told her it is going to be a cakewalk. I told her that she’s going to pass very easily because she’s very smart. I told her that I was going to identify some online resources so she could do some practice testing before the actual test itself. What a great way to prepare her for it. So I decided to take the practice test myself, and I failed miserably! Not only once, or twice, but five different times. I swear they added new things to this test that they didn’t have when I was 15 years old. I think I have some studying to do!
I encourage all parents of teenagers to take a look at some of the online permit tests that are available and see how you do! Perhaps you will do better than me. Because you can’t do much worse! 😂

Night Sweats!
I know it is summertime, and we have been dealing with some warm and humid weather conditions. I also know that the airflow in my house is subpar. Like many homes, the (cold) air conditioned air works its way to the basement, while the upstairs is much stuffier. Unfortunately, my bedroom is upstairs. I’ve actually […]

Woodstock 2029?
Netflix just released the new documentary highlighting the train wreck that was Woodstock 1999. Woodstock 1999 was commemorating 30 years since the original Woodstock in 1969. The two concert festivals were not held in the exact same location, which, according to the documentary, might have actually been part of the reason why it went so […]

Unread E-mails
I’m going to take a guess that most of us can relate to this topic. Having unread emails in our inbox. Maybe you have multiple email accounts with a bunch of unread messages. I have a handful of different accounts for different parts of my life, and right now the number of unread messages, in […]
