"Where Is It?"
Published Jan 01, 1900

My young nephew Anthony called me one morning with exciting news. After years of apartment dwelling, his family was moving to a house. "It has a big backyard and a swing set," he said.
Wanting to know the name of the town, I asked, "Where is it?"
He hesitated for a moment, clearly not sure. Then he said, "In escrow."
