quadrowheelia

i drove myself to the doctoratorium today.

it was the first time i took the car out on my own.

my first solo-flight in our grey shitbucket, the one with four doors and two working windows. the first time i drove on the left in a manual transmission auto with a choke sans the buoyant support of my wife.

i didn't hit nothing. although i did just squeak through one major intersection in first gear because i forgot to shift.

ha ha.

parking is the hardest. no matter how hard i try, looking over my left shoulder to see out the back seems wrong and generally of the devil.

but i'm driving now. so i can go places. and stuff.

also, if you haven't lately, you should listen to quadrophenia. it came into my head and i tracked down a copy and man, is that stuff good. they just don't make the rock music like that any more.

too bad keith moon had to go and die.

i woulda liked to see the who play back in the day.
