Making It In America

I love the holidays. They give me time to spend with those I love the most. As I leave to go visit them, I will be stopped a time or two. I will be asked where I am coming from, where I am going and why. I might even be asked if I am carrying any fruit in my car. The scene is like that in the old communism movies only the guys are nicer and they won’t shoot me if I don’t have papers giving me the right to travel. The first time it happened, I was shocked and a little frustrated. Now it is just to be expected. Funny how we deal with change! First we fight it; then we put up with it. Finally, we accept it. They say change is coming to America. I hope it will be as easy to deal with, as it was when I first traveled near a U.S. border.
