"Oh Jesus, Jesus..... Ah, Jesus!"
For an atheist, Mark has sure
been calling out to Jesus a lot lately. It's Chicago driving, not that he has
been driving here a lot. No, Mark is still not ready to drive in the big city. It's my driving that has given him religion.
He has had me driving everywhere and my taxi driving skills have started to
kick in again. The truth is, if Mark were driving we would never get to where
we're going. For instance, we came up behind a giant truck on a tiny street
yesterday. Mark would have sat there frozen in fear. I simply lubed up the
sides of the car and slid right on by. It was a very tight fit. One thing you
have to know when driving around the city is just how wide and long your car
is. Considering that I used to drive Yellow Cab, Checker Marathons around
Chicago and never put a scratch on one, I think I can handle Mark's Ford
Fusion. The truth is I would rather not be driving. I want Mark to start
learning how to deal with the traffic and narrow streets. It's my turn to sit
over in the passenger seat and scream out in terror.
