Turning Point
Matt takes the test for his driver’s license today. He’s ready. I don’t know if we are.
Getting a driver’s license is a turning point. Another milepost along the road to adulthood.
Matt’s a very good driver. I’m not worried about him. He’s responsible. Conscientious. I just reminded him that he’ll be driving a loaded gun, and that 44,000 people die in car accidents a year in the U.S. And I told him about the best advice I was ever told about riding a motorcycle — don’t drive mad.
That’s it. That’s the sum total of advice I can dispense as my son moves on down the road. That, and what Jackie Stewart once said: “Drive spectacularly.”

Hi, it's me, the guy whose name is at the top of the page. I'm the grinning dude in the middle of many of these pictures. Those are my boys Dan, Matt, and Steve. They're taller than me now, and take every chance to show me. What can I say? I'm shrinking. Sheryl puts up with all of us. She's been known to say "Boys!" from time to time. -
