Today is my eldest son's birthday. Micah is seventeen, and will be driving us to my sister-in-law's house an hour away. It will be the second time he has slid behind the wheel of a car to drive, the first time having been yesterday after he first received his permit. I will be attentive. For everyone's health and overall sanity, my wife will be ( Read more... )
