Joe's a Licensed Driver!!!!

For us, that seems like a big deal.  For Joe, well, he's never been in a hurry to drive or have a license or a car...  I think his music takes up all of his head time. That and his favorite computer games and Animae (sp?) cartoons he likes to watch.

Anyhow, it was quite the challenge to get his license now that he is 18. If he had gone the day before his birthday he would have only had to have his permit and Birth Cert.  But noooo, since 9-11 you have to show 5 different ID's.  Now what kind of kid has that kind of IDs available. Rick took his entire folder containing transcripts, a work stub from his job, his school ID (which didn't count), his permit (which didn't count because it didn't have a picture, a birth cert.... on and on.

They finally settled on suitable proof that my son was indeed a US Citizen and not a terrorist. And he passed the drive. Yeah!!!

Did he want to drive himself to band tonight? No. Go figure.
