So, I took a driver’s ed course this past week (I have been putting off getting my license for quite a while). On one of the classroom walls, sandwiched between inspirational pictures of Malala and the Obamas and Wonder Woman, is this photo of what basically amounts to a mugshot of Tom Brady. This picture is maybe slightly more flattering than your average license photo, and it’s blown up to about two feet tall and hung up on the wall for what I assume is emotional support. I am not sure if he, Wall Tom Brady, truly understands his purpose, but it was his kind, unblinking eyes that got me through those thirty hours, and for this I am thankful.

Since I appreciated Wall Tom Brady’s encouragement so much, I decided to document him every day I went to the course (this amounted to five days, but I forgot to do so on the fourth and took two on the fifth in order to compensate); these are the fruits of my labor.
