Thunder Road

Thanks to my old pal India Mike for the fine Chinese buffet this evening and the whiskey rocks after. This was Mike's good luck gesture to me: Tomorrow morning I will once again take the road test for a New Jersey driver's license.

Good Lord, it has been 16 years since I last took this test. Forgetting about driving during the many years in Europe and then a Manhattan job now has me feeling like a nervous 17-year-old again.

But the desire to be free behind the wheel again, racing up some Jersey highway is strong. I have a good feeling about it. But if I do fail, I probably won't be writing about it here.
