Driving lessons

We keep meaning to get a bumper sticker or magnet, but haven't yet. We've seen some good ones: Student Driver: This Vehicle Brakes for No Reason or Caution: Student Driver & Screaming Parent or Student Driver: I'm Freakin' Trying. Truth be told, Lincoln is proving to be both cautious and a quick study. He got us safely back from Syracuse last weekend, cruising at 72 m.p.h. for the first time, executing more than a few lane changes at those high speeds, and only hitting the rumble strips a couple times. Honestly, it was probably the longest conversation we've had since some bike rides last summer and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Halfway through he decided he would only keep going if he could control the radio, so I was relegated to Spotify searches and Carey and I both enjoyed sampling his musical tastes.
