She passed! She has her Learner's Permit!

I actually took this a couple of days ago, moments after my DD
gave me the news that she'd passed her written driving exam. She
can now drive ON CITY STREETS as long as there is a parent in the
car with her. Good thing for her she has two parents...

On another note, I got my DRebel back from Canon yesterday, just
eight days after sending it in for service. No charge (except to
ship it to Canon) even though out of warranty by six-eight days.
Woohoo!

And on another note, what's with FedEx leaving the package by
my front door?

Anyway, if you're in the San Diego area, drive VERY CAREFULLY and
look out for teenage girls driving with nervous fathers in the car.

Wonderful SP Gary. And the joys and tribulations of fatherhood are really focused for you now eh? I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Very cool SP Gary!

LOL! Love the expression and the sentiment! It terrifies me to think of my daughter driving! I'll be very careful next time I'm in the SD area.

Karen Leaf		25-Jun-2005 02:27
Looking forward to the result of 3 weeks of 'practice' if this is what it's like before she even hits the roads. It's a good thing you wear grey well. Go get 'em Lyndsey!

Gary, I find that same expression on my face everytime my son reminds me that he'll be driving this time next year. You've really captured the angst here. Good news about your cam, finally!

Guest		24-Jun-2005 10:33

Guest		24-Jun-2005 09:23

Guest		24-Jun-2005 06:46
Hahhahaha thats hilarious!

Coleen Perilloux Landry		24-Jun-2005 06:27
You'll survive......maybe. But, will she? Girls are usually careful drivers--just don't make her nervous or look at her like this.!

Pepe Zyman		24-Jun-2005 06:01
Thank you for the warning! I'll make sure not to drive close to your house :^)

Michael Todd Thorpe		24-Jun-2005 05:41
Cool, Gary! This brought me a smile...

Guest		24-Jun-2005 04:51
Priceless expression to go along with the story....seemingly appropriate! And congrats on getting your Rebel back and in working order...sounds like you had a great experience with Canon.

Linda Willets		24-Jun-2005 04:26
LOL..that fear will calm down in a while

Guest		24-Jun-2005 04:06
LOL ~Cool shot :) My daughter just got her permit as well...giving me more than my fair share of grey hairs!

laine82		24-Jun-2005 03:40

Gayle P. Clement		24-Jun-2005 03:33
I love your expression. You will get used to your daughter driving soon.
