this is the boy who passed his driver's test today. I just watched him drive off by himself for the first time in my car.  I'm equal parts relieved and terrified.  oi vey.

this is where I want to be right now.  so what's taking so long with that teleportation technology? it's the twenty-first century already.  sheesh.  my complaints are bitter today because it slushed. not snowed* (bad enough), not rained (ew, but used to it).  no, it fell in wet globs from the sky smacking faces and windshields with wet horrid sloppiness. we hates it. we hates it forever! 

in lieu of teleporting me to a villa in Tuscany, maybe I could be granted just a really well stocked cozy wine cellar full of over-imbibing friends? eternal weekends? sigh. 

*addendum:

NOW IT'S SNOWING!!! #^@&#%&*@%!!!!!
