Yes! I took my driver's test today, and I happily scored 95 out of 100, well above and beyond the required minimum passing score of 85.
A skip tickled my toes and heels as I left the driver's testing center and stepped into a cold, rainy, and gray day. I was next headed "up the hill," which in Hohenfels is synonymous with "going to the Shoppette," and it's a steep trek that often daunts any desire I have to pick up my mail, eat at Subway, or go to the Shoppette, which is the largest convenience store on post. But on this messy day I made the climb in record time, for next on my list of things to do: "Pick up cell phone at T-Mobile across from Shoppette."

With my treasure tucked securely under my arm and myself under my umbrella, I practically flew down the hill to retrieve my beloved son from a kind babysitting woman from Ghana.
Making my way back to our humble lodgings, I felt almost capable of being human again: I had my driver's license. I had my cell phone. I had my...
And then, a thought struck me!
