Once again they were out of the country for a business meeting. It didn’t come as a surprise to me

family one. I have never used his. Never been inside it. Probably because we rarely went to any

trips together.

idea down. What the hell would I use it for? I rarely went anywhere that will necessitate me

needing one of my own. If I had to go somewhere, I usually hired one or I’d just fly business class.
