The latest headlines...

This week's big news! I passed the written driver's test and finally am legal to drive for a while. I still have to take the actual driving portion to get my license, which I can hopefully do before (or on) May 22. Why this date? I shall tell you. This is the unhappy portion of my news.

My grandpa is not doing well at all. He is 91 years old and he says he's ready to go home. My mom has scraped together whatever she could find and is going home to say her final goodbyes. She's leaving the 23rd and I'm needed at home to take care of things while she's gone. This is one of my mom's worst fears starting to come true. She's afraid she's going to lose both of her parents so very quickly together - and I think she's right, because my grandma just won't want to live without grandpa.

The day she comes back is the day my dad leaves for Phoenix or somesuch place. He'll spend two weeks training there, and then six more weeks in Salt Lake before finally hitting the road.

Anyway... that's the big news for now. Stay tuned for further developments...
