By Susan Shanklin Tom just texted me at 6:45 a.m. from London that he was boarding and would be home soon. Well, I’ll see him about 5:30 or 6 p.m., that is.

I was riding in our brown and tan compact station wagon, with my mother, Blanche, descending down a long hill into my home town of Andover, Massachusetts.
