“Okay, then. To answer your question, we are here.” I turned into the parking lot and steered the van back behind the fence to the same spot I ha... parked in earlier. “I will stay out here to make certain that the van and luggage are safe. Go get what you want.”“No, you are coming in with us!” Ali was adamant. “You said we would be safe. Now you must make certain of it. I will tolerate these girls doing some… exploring. But I do not want to chance having anyone attacked. You are coming. Just remember me the next time you need to hire someone.”“I will. Thanks again, Alderman.”We hung up and I called both ward offices to inquire about speaking to the aldermen.

"I've got a motion-operated videocam recorder at the office, it's easy to set up, we could find out if you want."Well, Tracy agreed and I set it up before we went out the next Friday night.

Not like some families, we just want toget it all down on paper so we are covered later."The meeting was adjourned soon after and we departed forhome. Bedroom Talk"What the hell were you thinking in that meeting," demandedJeff as we got home, "perhaps you want to tell them ourfavorite positions too?" Your dad started it with that crack about 'natural'children. Why can't a child that we adopt become an officerof the company? Sounds like discrimination to me! I wasjust trying to add a little.
