   Bettina thought, “I could have a body like that. A few trips to the gym … maybe a little enhancement surgery and some implants and … Oh, who the hell am I kidding?”

   I won’t mention his name ( for fear of being sued ) but I knew an individual, who became well-known as a motivational speaker. He took up that career because he’d quit or got fired from every job he’d ever had.

   The difference that 22 years can make! In many American towns and cities, the shopping mall has gone the way of the rotary dial telephone and black & white television.

   My wife and I were at the Albrook Mall, in Panama City, Panama recently and were amazed at how busy it was. This is a Mega-Mall on steroids and lives up to its reputation – a plethora of stores – large and small – catering to everything from cut-rate clothing to high-end merchandise, several large food courts and restaurants, fairly easy to navigate, and according to a couple of different sales clerks I spoke to, always crowded. It’s a far cry from most of the malls in the States or even our malls here in Ecuador.

    I read FA so I can keep my expectations low. I’m never disappointed.
