I Hated Witnessing


by Phil Callaway


Tanks in part to our great uncle Air Miles, our family of five was privileged to spend a week in Mexico, suffering in the sand and pounding the streets of Mazatlan looking for cheap T-shirts. We sampled the local cuisine and interacted with street people — many of them without limbs, most of them without hope. On the trip home, United Airlines


sprinkled our family throughout a packed L-1011. My wife was across the aisle, our daughter was in front of her, and the boys were lost somewhere behind us, behaving themselves, I’m sure. Beside me sat Mike, a 19-year-old, and his pretty girlfriend.
