Tango list update!

Wow last night I did something totally unexpected, totally spontaneous. I was with Blake and Will headed to Katie's birthday celebration. It was a little wet outside and a little cold so we decided to split a cab. Blake suggested crossing the street b/c the traffic was running in the wrong direction. That turned out to be a fateful decision. We hailed the cab, Blake and Will got in the back and me in the front. As we were leaving I said half joking to the cabbie that I would like to drive. He said something in Spanish and then asked me if I knew how to drive. I said yes. Then he pulled the cab over at the next block and let me drive. I could not believe it. Will and Blake were shocked as well. I drove very carefully (in rain, in a car I had never driven before, in the dark). I stalled the car a couple of times. The car needed more gas than I was used to giving and I didn't want to over do it. I got us there fine and had a blast doing it. I wish I would have had taken some pictures but of course how can you anticipate a moment like that.
