Ten days and where have I been

I am back. I know it is ten days later but I was busy. I had been taking a course to get a Certificate in Dispute Resolution. It was interesting but intense in terms of the depth and breadth of materials that needed to be read and synthesized. It was worth it though. It is now completed, or at least the work done, so I should have more time to update and observe.

I did notice something the other evening. I was driving to pick up the lad and came to a stop sign. Stopped at the four way stop to my left was a car with four people in it. I am figuring by what I saw that the average age of the people in that car was near 139 years old. The woman driving was going so slow that if she were going any slower she would be moving backwards. The thought occurred to me that I would think that given how old they were, and how much closer to death they were, that they would be moving with a greater sense of urgency. I mean that last thing that I would be doing in that situation is gliding through an intersection. I am near death and I have places to be and people to see, time is of the essence. Not this lady, though. There was no sense of urgency there. I am now thinking that perhaps she was already dead but nobody was kind enough to let her know, so she was allowed to drive. Or it was "Ghost Car", the haunted car of old people everywhere, just doomed to cruise the neighborhood for eternity.

That is all for today, ciao.
