Its 6:00 AM and 12 degrees on the Tuesday before Christmas. I back down a long suburban driveway for a 6:15 AM pickup of a woman plus three extra passengers. At about 6:10, the woman comes out to tell me that the bags are ready to go. Now she’s the typical kept housewife: no job, three to four kids and the most serious thing she has to deal with on a daily basis is keeping her yoga appointment. I get out of the car to fetch the bags off the porch, dump them in the trunk and out comes a boy and girl about seven years old.
