Today's big news is that Bernie has taken delivery of his brand-spanking new 2006 Nissan truck. So now there are two shiny red vehicles in our driveway. He came home and took Jesse and me for a spin; our six-foot-two son can just slide into the seats in the slightly extended cab. He'd be more comfortable if he were still ten years old, instead of sixteen (on Sept.2) and taller than his father, but it is good to know that Bernie is driving a truck with a warranty on it. The last vehicle cost us more money than we wanted. The payments go up but the stress goes down! He's a happy guy. He's a happy guy anyway but today he's a happy guy with a new truck.
