...different for every family," says Lt. Col. Durr. "We both have been in Army National Reserves [since] my kids were born," he says of himself and his wife, Heather. "[My kids] are used to mom and dad not being around sometimes." In the aftermath of 9/11, for example, Durr spent four months at Ground Zero in New York City...
...course slowing down trade requires only collective will, not regulations. What if buyers decided to resist the siren song of low prices emanating from the nearest Wal-Mart and buy instead from mom-and-pop stores stocked with higher-priced, locally made goods?

The part he did get that year was in a summer theater revival of The Boy Friend...
...pretty surprised when I found myself enjoying Romania. My mom's elementary school, which I had figured would be a one-room schoolhouse, had—then and now—a woodworking shop. The only woodworking I did in elementary school was sharpening my Lisa Frank pencils with plastic sharpeners. The food was delicious and there really are few places where one can unabashedly eat meat three times...
