At Wiscon: YAY! Meanwhile, in San Francisco:

Avocado passed her driver's test yesterday, and is now s licensed driver. In fact, she's a pretty good driver for an unseasoned whelp--overestimates her ability to deal with everything under the sun, but careful and thoughtful.

Now begins a lifetime (at least as long as she lives with us) of jockeying for the car. We now have three licensed drivers in the house, and theoretically the priority of use goes: Dad, Mom, Avocado. Even before her test she was trying to organize things so that she could move up a rung or two on that ladder. Such interesting times.

Congratulations, whelp. Well done. I'm proud of you. No, you can't use the car today.
