Driving lesson
Last week when I went to meet with Liuda for an English lesson, I met her daughter driving her out of the driveway. Liuda had forgotten I was coming. Her daughter had a day off work and had offered to take her to the DMV to get her learner’s permit. Liuda passed! Continue reading

Giftedness
When I was growing up, my mother used to say I was as slow as molasses in January. She would drop me off in the toy department while she shopped for groceries and I would organize the little toys. (This was in the day when they’d have bins of little plastic figures loose and other children had dropped the wrong figures into the various bins.) I have always had an eye for detail.
