News. I've got both. The trip to Shodoshima was lovely. K's grandparents were very glad to see us...her grandmother is especially spry at the age of 80-something...still working the orchards and running the hills. We stayed at a nice hot spring resort, had a mediocre 'french' dining experience, and an interesting, if odiferous, visit to the monkey park. Mission Accomplished.
Today, however, I sup at the trough of failure. I went to take my practical driving test, the final hurdle on the way to a provisional learner's permit. I failed. Badly. Didn't even get to complete the test. Why? Overshot the stopline at the only stopsign on the freaking course. Completely my own fault...which makes the defeat all the more galling. Having been a licensed driver for 14 years simply adds vinegar upon the salt on my wounds. Gotta go back next Wednesday and try again. Never EVER let your driver's license expire.
