When our daughter, Anne, graduated from Emerson College in Boston several years ago, the Lovely Mona and I flew in to witness the event. The guy at Customs asked, "What was the purpose of your trip?" I missed the past tense, and said, "To see our daughter graduate." He said, "Really?In Panama?" I said, "We LIVE in Panama. We came to Boston for the graduation." Boy, did he give us a look!<BR/>They can't fathom why anyone would live outside of the good ol' USA.Padre Mickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07580459577853346369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36914208.post-19231829703327747242008-08-12T18:34:00.000-05:002008-08-12T18:34:00.000-05:00I lived in the UK for a number of years.

Coming back to the US, the immigration people always seemed even more rude than usual, when they saw my well-stamped visa'd passport. <BR/>"Why isn't Amurika good enuf fer yew?" was the tone . I had nightmares about being rejected by both countries and stuck in the terminal (way before the movie, I might add)<BR/><BR/>ITAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36914208.post-21227097139859417252008-08-09T23:49:00.000-05:002008-08-09T23:49:00.000-05:00I'm with you, Padre:) Have of my family was here ...I'm with you, Padre:) Have of my family was here in NA, half wasn't.

She came when she was thirteen, obviously lying about her age. We never did figure out how old she really was. Truth be told, I will bet she is not the only one. Let's face it, it is a great thing to welcome everyone here and why not? There should only be friends that have not yet been met.Frank Remkiewicz aka “Tree”https://www.blogger.com/profile/00501821790434895826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36914208.post-88827767367962618052008-08-09T19:02:00.000-05:002008-08-09T19:02:00.000-05:00If I did not already love this blog, if I did not ...If I did not already love this blog, if I did not already love your voice - with its moments of sincerity,of hilarity, of veracity, of reverence and irreverence, I love it all the more now.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181529277715646835noreply@blogger.com
