Dan has his first truck-day today. Mondays and Tuesdays are classroom time, and Wednesdays-Fridays are half-days for practice. I imagine he's somewhere, tootling around in a parking lot right now. His permit test is on Monday, and Gargamel (that's what we're having Vi call Dan's dad, Greg...he didn't want a real "grandpa" name, so we picked one for him. She says Gro-Gro) has offered to help him study. Very exciting!
I think I'll try to make an iPod playlist for him. What songs are good driving songs? Not just trucking songs - a la "On the Road Again," "Pickup Man," or, as my brother-in-law suggested, the theme from "BJ and The Bear" - but real, good music for road trips. There's a chance that Dan's first job will be an over-the-road, long-haul sort of job, so he'll need podcasts and songs and books-on-tape. Post a comment below with your suggestions!
