The DMV and Me

We stood in line at the New Hampshire Department of Motor Vehicles for an hour and forty-five minutes yesterday so that I could get a state driver's license which took, once the process had begun, a total of about five minutes. I suppose I would be more upset about the wait we had to endure if we, being currently unemployed, had anything more pressing of which to be concerned.

There was a man in line behind us who was sixty-five years old and who was there that day to get his first ever driver's license. His wife had always been responsible for driving their car and, until she apparently kicked the ol' bucket, hadn't thought that he needed a license at all.

Thanks for letting me drive our car sometimes, Sarah. I do appreciate it.

Anyway, the long and short of this story is that I had to regretfully part with my lovely blue and pink Iowa driver's license yesterday in order to transfer my residency to New Hampshire. So it goes, I suppose. We also registered to vote now in the 'shire; a duty we both plan on faithfully carrying through with this coming November.

And, in case you were wondering, I am leaning left as always.

That's all for now, I guess. The wife and I joined a new gym here in town today. We were planning on joining one in the coming moths after my insurance was put into place, anyway, so today was as good a day as any other. Joining now will hopefully help us to further establish some of the good habits we've been making a part of our daily routine during the past couple of weeks. I think we're going to go have our first work out there in a little bit, so I had better start getting ready. I have to grease every muscle before I go so that they ripple and gleam whilst I work for the deep burn.

Stay Gold, kids. Hope you're enjoying this so far, even if our posts mostly consist of fairly routine laundry lists of our daily schedules and errands.

I might write more later.
