During the last few days, Aaron has confided he is getting nervous. I suppose that is normal. From a parent's perspective his level of nervousness seems appropriate. Then yesterday, after he had traveled south a few hours in his restored International Scout, he informs his father by phone that he has lost his driver's license. First, my husband establishes that it has not been confiscated by the authorities for any reason. Nope. Just lost. Aaron says he's looked everywhere four times and had an announcement made at the car festival he is attending. Nothing.
Now I don't know a lot about psychology. While it was my minor in college, that was 25 years ago. Yet I can't help but wonder if this isn't some silly trick of his sub-conscious putting a hurdle in his way this week before he is scheduled to lift off on August 22. Oh, I know I'm over-analyzing, but it's fun sometimes. I just hope this hurdle isn't insurmountable, and I'm also VERY grateful it wasn't his passport he lost.

Addendum: On the following day, while pre-packing, Aaron found his drivers license. He had placed it with some official papers after meeting with a banker on Thursday.
