Farmer's Market, a walk downtown with a friend, and enjoy a reunion with my husband, who is returning from a business trip to Uruguay, and my younger son, who was going to school in Panama and flies home tonight for winter vacation.

No, but I might purchase one or two during the after-Christmas sales.
I think they are a nice convenience.

A Vietnamese baby who spent the night in April 1975, during Operation Babylift.

A former friend and colleague emigrated to Houston and had to return to the UK to sort out his Visa saying it would take three weeks.

He stayed for six months.

I didn't mind as he was a good friend but when we went, by coincidence, to live in Houston I was never once invited to his house in a very upmarket area of the City.

I phoned him up and told him to get lost.
