One thing about Allen is that he loves to drive. And he loves to drive fast. And since he spends most of his workday in the car he seems to be at risk for more tickets than the average person. That being said, the past few months he's seen more than his share of tickets. Well, apparently the province agreed and he now doesn't get to drive for 30 days. We're about a week into this new scenario. We seem to be getting by and he seems to still be able to do his work - although it's at quite a slowed pace. Luckily the guys he works with are all very giving and good people - and so one guy picks him up in the morning. Others give him a ride to the gym or drop him off here and there. There is some sympathy in the office for his situation because this has happened to at least two other people there. Allen was going to ride his bike to the office - but we've had snow a few times and it just didn't seem like a good idea to be riding a bike. Of course, getting to the office is small potatoes comparing to figuring out how to get on appointments. So far things are going pretty slow in the appointment category. The funny thing though is our kids. Every now and then when we're going somewhere Allen will tell me I'm in the wrong lane or going too slow or something like that - and I'll remind him that I'm the one with the driver's lisence. Peirce usually pipes up and says "Now do you see why you shouldn't speed Dad?" I just smile...and then give Peirce a high five. Luckily Allen has maintained a pretty good sense of humor through all of this too. Hopefully that can continue for perhaps another 21 days.
....now we just have to get all the darn fines paid! LOL
