The date hasn't been set. There is no firm guest list or agreed agenda. A site has been chosen, the Naval Academy in Annapolis, but that decision doesn't offer much assurance that the Bush administration's Middle East peace conference proposed for November is going to take place. There are too many unknowns at this late date, and a stark difference of opinion exists between Israeli and Palestinian leaders on the meeting's expected outcome. Neither Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice nor President Bush has offered any clarity on that point.

When my son's Spanish teacher told us that he was not performing to expectations, my wife and I, zealots for foreign travel and languages, began to worry. His grades in algebra, physics, history and English were all good. Only the Spanish reports coming from the high school caused concern. Eight minutes into worry, my wife, Annabelle, announced: "We'd better get Miles to Spain." We queried friends for leads on a Spanish-speaking family with one or more kids in Miles' age bracket. A horse-mad English friend told us about an equine veterinarian named Willie Manley, his wife, Begona, and their three teenage sons living near Madrid.
