A Normal Day

Let us hope.

Martha's affairs are in order. So we may proceed with the Driver's Permit. This just grates on me so. Living in a state where the governor's big thing (before the Death Penalty Moratorium etc.) was the license-for-bribes scandal. People with enough cash who knew who to ask could buy a license. Sixteen year olds - innocent as lambs - must jump through hopes to prove their bona fides.

Off to Mass.......and on to a day of schooling that doesn't include mater muttering under her breath about the #@*!?# State of Illinois. (We are making progress - the first half of the Gettyburg Address is just about memorized. Pater did download the Swedish translation. Sent it to Grandma for a chuckle. When he tried to read it to us, all I could think about was the Swedish Chef from the Muppet Show......)
