Today's
flashback. Sixteen and taking driver's ed. Driving a Kcar. The instructor was
Dutch with a heavy accent. Difficult to understand. He would take us out on the
401 and yell "Flur it!". Driving in a town called Ingersoll. My twin
brother and a girl called Chris Mooney in the back seat. I'm making a wide left
turn at a city intersection. The instructor thinks I'm too wide and grabs the
wheel. For whatever reason, I "flur it" with the gas pedal. We veer
and head across the lawn of the Catholic Church. I manage to take out the glass
and steel sign with the lettering. I mean out of the ground. Then I hit the
corner of the church. Bang. We are all okay, but the car is wrecked. First
words? Chris Mooney in the back seat saying "holy shit" over and
over. They never let me forget that one at school.
