First my 20 year class reunion last weekend, and now this!

I just got backing from taking my son, Noah, to the DMV to get his driver's license. It was VERY strange.

He's been driving with a limited permit for a year, and I knew this was coming and even looked forward to it cutting down on chauffeur’s duty. In fact, I thought the only downside was my skyrocketing insurance premium, but after he got it, we came home, he dropped me off then left to go make the rounds of family and friends, and it suddenly hit me. Wow, he really is 16! Somehow I always looked through that 5'10' 220lb young man who is always too cool to smile anymore and see the 5 year old who can't quit grinning.

It was surreal watching him driving away alone this afternoon.

He was certainly happy as a clam though. I just hope he doesn't do any of the things I did, or more importantly, I hope WHEN he does those things, that I don't find out about them for another 10 years or so. By then I should be on some type of heart medication anyway. ;)

A good game of Ro Cham Bo will do more for you then what those heart pills, trust me. Oh and congradulations on raising a fine young man.

I'm not high in the years, but I know what you mean Ronn. The years are just flying by anymore. I remember things back four years ago like they were yesterday and in less than a year, I'm going to college.

Time, spooky thing it is.

You might watch him drive into the sunset Ronn_Bman ... but he will be back in the morning with dirty washing [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

That... and a request for gas money. [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color=lime>Congrats on getting older Ronn, and ... good luck. ;) [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D </font>

Yeah, Piestrider has been driving for over a year now. Much less milage on my Suburban, and it doesn't cost me a thing - my father-in-law bought it for him: a Toyota Avalon. Congrats, Ronn.
