WHY I AM GRATEFUL FOR HANY, MY DRIVER

CONTEXT:  Planning to go to a Thanksgiving dinner at night in Zemalik, which is an hour away (in heavy traffic) across the river from Tahrir Square.  Worried about my return home, since the bridge going over the river to get home has been the site of some of the demonstrations and violence.  Considering staying overnight in Zemalik and coming home Friday morning.

ME: Hany, do you think I'll be in danger if I try to come home tonight?  Maybe I should stay over in Zemalik, what do you think?

HANY:  Ms Christine, you will not be in danger, because you will be with me.

I think I'm in love!  Too bad Hany is married, has 3 little kids, and is 25 years younger than me....

Hope everyone had a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
