Barbara Mandrell says, "Wear your seatbelt!"

Today's first driving film featured such luminaries as T. Craig Nelson, Barbara Mandrell, Tim Allen, Scott Bakula in his "Quantum Leap" days, some chick from "The Fresh Prince," and Hammer (without the "M.C."), who treated us to some rhyming lines about why one should slow down in inclement weather.

The sixteen-year-olds recognized at least some of them, though, to judge from the girl in front of me who wrote "Hammer Time!" in large letters at the top of her notebook page.

During the break I observed as three girls conspired with the help of the instructor to learn the name of a cute boy (which turned out to be "Andor").

I forgot to mention yesterday that at one point during class, I noticed that my leg was stuck to some gum under the desk. This made me sad.
