Last week I took part in my first ever yoga class and my zillioneth ever driver's license renewal test. I did fairly well with yoga--my wife has been trying to convince me and coax me to join her in the gentle chair yoga class with her favorite instructor, Linda. As for Linda, she was amazed to see me there. She made me feel very welcome and helped me to achieve several yoga positions that I never would have dreamed possible. At the end of the class I was able to get up from the chair without the need for a crane.
The written driver's exam also went well: I aced the 18 questions, including a couple that I guessed correctly. When it came time for the eye exam, I tried an old trick that has served me well for my last two tests: since I can see better out of my left eye, I am very good at reading the charts when they ask me to cover my right eye. Then when they ask me to cover my left eye, I do a sleight of hand and cover the right eye again. It has worked the last couple of times, but this time they caught me right-handed and made me actually switch to my bad eye. Still, I only messed up with a "t" and an "f," good enough to pass.
They didn't tell me to come back for an actual driver's test behind the wheel, so I am good behind the wheel for another five years!
