Back From The DeadZone
Man, I'm finally on the mend from my cold. That thing kicked my ass something fierce.
In total, I ended up missing three days o' work as well as the first game o' the opening round o' play-offs with my hockey team. I've got to be really sick to miss a game o' hockey.
Fortunately, I'm getting better as I'm in the middle stages of "cough and hack the lung butter up" phase o' the cold. Should be a fun and exciting time for me, yummy.

For the past two weeks, Zealot and I have been teaching a friend of ours how to drive. She's had her permit for almost a year and has only been behind the wheel twice. She asked us if we would help in giving her the finer points on how to drive. We agreed without hesitation and made a standing appointment every Sunday afternoon.
I've never taught someone to drive, so I'm trying to remember and apply all the things I've learned from my dad and my driving instructor as well as my own experiences. Now ol' Grif's been driving for almost 15 years, but I've had a lot o' driving jobs. I've been a parts runner, drove 20 and 40 foot box trucks, tractors, forklifts, not to mention my own cars and trucks. I suppose you could say that she's in very capable hands.
She's got 4 more weeks of wheel time with me and Zealot, so I'll keep you guys posted.

In these closing thoughts I'd like to ask for you to wish me luck. My hockey team was rather abysmal this season and we made the play-offs by the skin o' our butts. I have a game tonight/tomorrow night (depending on when you read this) and could use some luck. I know it takes skill and heart, but a bit o' luck never hurt, right?

Take care all, and thanks!

Grif
