I agree Andy.

I maybe should have written the staement a little more clearly: I was
tired at the end of the day *once I got home* (~40 miles drive home,
excitement/adreneline/giddyness :-) has worn off, unpacking the car, etc.)

I know you're weren't being critical, but I want to make sure no one got
the impression that I was driving tired.

Great advice, though, and it was mentioned by my instructor to be aware of
fatigue. And a couple people I know did in fact pass on their last session
because of being tired.

Cheers,
Jim
