At 43, I now own a car for the first time in my life; nay, it's an SUV, and we can thank parenthood.

This is the vehicle. We'll take possession on Saturday unless something goes wrong.

It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.
