I got a call today from Winona State University. I applied to their graduate program in School Counseling and it turns out that I need to drive down there for an interview on Feb. 20th. That means I will have to leave Thursday and drive down to the Cities and then drive to Rochester on Friday and then back up to the Cities Friday night. Anybody that has ever seen me in a vehicle knows that I am scared out of my mind right now about this. I absolutely hate driving...even more so in big cities. I lived in Minneapolis for two years while going to school down there and I never once drove a vehicle. The situation gets even worse because the lady had to call me because they hadn't heard back about whether I was attending the screening session or not. She said she sent an e-mail, but I never got it. I then asked to make sure she was sending it to the right e-mail address...and she said "I sent it to jackthomas@msn.com. It's actually jakedthomas@msn.com I replied. So now, every professor and admissions person at Winona State that has looked over my application probably thinks my name is Jack. Wow...what a good start.

In the last 25 years I have driven in LA, San Franciso, Honolulu, Portland, Minneapolis, Anchorge...you name it. All the time I'm thinking "hey, you learned to drive on cowboy trails in Montana, you have no reason to be here driving in this type of traffic on these types of highways." But you know what, I've made it without one single wreck. I have, however, seen the largest finger from several Californians.
Also you have been lost everytime in the process you have taken your family through the rough parts of very big cities. Scary.
Yeah, I'll admit I was lost, but think of the things we have seen that weren't otherwise on the "beaten path." And I didn't get into a wreck.
