little things...

Bonnie and I went out to see Mr. and Mrs. Smith on Tuesday night.  It was actually better than I thought it was going to be.  Bonnie is going back to Hamilton, NY on Sunday and she is trying to see all the movies she can before.  There is only one small theatre in Hamilton. 

Bonnie applied to use the college van.  She has to take a driving test before she is granted a van license from the school, which includes a test on parallel parking.  Since she didn't have to learn that for the Oregon test, she just never did it.  She and I spent a bit of time practicing last night and she's a little shaky on it and she should practice more, but I will let her manage that.

Our intern, Britta, is working so hard that we barely get to see her.  She takes the bus to and from work, and she didn't get home till 10 last night, 9 the night before.  She leaves about 7 in the morning.  I hope this is just the early push, because they really can't push kids all that hard all summer.  And, of course, being the 'mom', I worry about her when she is out late like that.

I have been so bad about posting - I love the new banner for Gemini - parallel parking - Yikes!

Wow! I'd never heard of a place where you don't have to do parallel parking as part of your test! Mind you, somehow I've never gotten around to doing the test in either Australia or the Netherlands.

I failed my two tries at parallel parking on the WA driver's test. I don't get much practice so I am really lousy at it. (I got very good when I lived up at UW though!)

I'm sure hoping that she passes this test or she will be stuck in little Hamilton, NY with no way out!!!

I can still remember taking my first driving test where they made you parallel park. I was about 10 feet away from the curb! But the guy passed me anyway, because I had done everything else right. But if it is any comfort, I'm a crackshot at parallel parking now and I have a mini van!
