A very young cowboy was pretty bummed when failing a first driver’s license exam in 1966.
I had been really excited to try my new wheels…a 1949 Plymouth.
Do you remember your anticipation of that first car…that Little Deuce Coup or 409 like The Beach Boys sang about?
This morning leaving Mass, a driver was waiting to take a parishioner on a different ride…a trip that would be his/her last.
Not many folks look forward to this ride. But it made me think that we might get the most of our time here if…just once, we could take a ride around the block in this car.
Maybe we’d be reminded that the little troubles we face are awfully darn insignificant and perhaps we’d pack more hugs and I love you’s into every day.
Who knows, it could be that a round the block trip could lessen the dread of that final ride…especially if it’s in a Tesla.
