Bit of Ivory

I. Can’t. Believe. It. My dad let me drive the Prius. From Murray. To Provo. By myself. Of course, it took a little bit of finagling (promising to park far away where at least one side of the car is unexposed to another car to minimize the possibility of dings, explaining how soon I’d be […]
