Driving Refresher Course

We completed the driving refresher course today. Sitting for nearly four hours two days in a row is punishing to bodies our age. The youngsters, 55 to 65, didn’t seem to mind as much, although most of the women complained about the cold temperature of the room. We dressed more warmly today, so weren’t as uncomfortable in that respect.

I’m considering volunteering to teach such classes for AARP. I think I can project my voice better than most of the instructors I’ve had the three times I’ve taken the course. Soft voices with little inflection are difficult for the hard of hearing to understand. The time commitment doesn’t seem too onerous, so I may give it a shot.

After we got home, I had a swim and a nap. I still hope to get some writing done this evening.
