So, I was out driving with my mother today and she was acting in a manner I had never experienced with her before. She is normally a pretty lay back parent, if a little too "safe." She doesn't like chances or risks. Anyway, I was driving just fine and the entire time she was dictating my every move! I've never seen the woman so controlling! And it wasn't as if I was driving recklessly, in fact, I was doing very well, but she was acting as if I were in danger of jerking the wheel off to the side into a tree for no reason. I could see her picturing the newspaper headline: Local Women Killed in Car Wreck. Ridiculous! And it wasn't even my first time driving with her. She just decided to sprinkle extra sugar in her Crazy Flakes this morning, I guess.
On another, totally unrelated note, I have converted yet another to The Doctor! Doctor Who, if you do not know, is a British TV show which first aired in the 60s, then came back in the late 90s after taking a break in the 80s. The show is about the adventures of an alien man who can travel through time and space in a blue Police Call box(they were common in the 60s and it stuck). The Doctor, as the alien man is called, can regenerate when he is mortilly wounded, but he looks different after each regeneration. The idea was first a radio program in the 50s, I believe. Douglas Adams, author of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy once wrote for the show, putting the Doctor through his paces in adventure after adventure. The Doctor usually travels with at least one companion and she/he (but usually she) changes almost as often as the Doctor does. My aforementioned convert, Amber, has fallen almost as deeply in love with our dear Doctor as I have. Thank God/the Universe/Buddha/Jesus/Allah/The Giant Spagetti Monster/The Aliens/The Doctor for Netfilx!!
