Melissa dropped into a chair in front of her manager's cherry veneer desk. "I don't know how people with kids can do this job," the 25-year-old radio advertising sales rep said.

Her boss, Laurie Thompson, had heard such self-doubt before. Her six salespeople at Connoisseur Media in Erie often popped into her office to give vent to their 30 ______ about a tough day of cold-calling.

Laurie nodded. She didn't have children, 31 ______ herself instead to a sales career, running marathons, cycling, sailing and spending time with her husband.

"I don't think I'll ever have kids, though that would really disappoint my parents," Melissa said. 

"Why? Because you're 32 ______ only child?" Laurie asked. Melissa said her parents would be disappointed because they 33 ______ for grandkids. Then she added, almost as an afterthought, "I was adopted."

From the time she was tiny, Melissa knew that she was adopted. Her new parents were always open with their daughter about where she came from. Along the way, Melissa grew 34 ______ to questions from people who had learnt she was adopted. So she wasn't at all 35 ______ about answering her boss that afternoon.

"Have you ever had a desire to meet your real parents?" Laurie asked.

"Not really," Melissa said. "It's not that I don't want to. It's just that I haven't got around to it. And I don't feel like I'm missing anything. My parents are wonderful."

Melissa laughed and was about to leave when Laurie asked her another question. "When were you born?"

"April 14, 1981." Then, feeling she'd taken 36 ______ enough of her boss's time, Melissa said goodbye and headed home.

Machu Picchu

In a way, it's wonderful that Machu Picchu can nowadays be visited on a day 30___________ from Cuzco. Everyone probably should have a chance to see this remarkable place.

Like many travellers, I hoped to get a taste of Machu Picchu's 'lost in the clouds' atmosphere by approaching the ruins on foot 31___________ the Inca trail. I joined the obligatory tour group in Cuzco, then spent the next four days surrounded by others making the classic pilgrimage. Along the way, we crossed several breathtaking Andean passes, treading on original Inca paving stones, and passing several other fine ruins.

Our last 32___________ stop was at an exquisitely beautiful site called Huinay Huayna, where dozens of impossibly steep terraces cascade into a deep green gorge backed by a high waterfall. My new-found travelling companions included five Argentines who 33___________ my interest in exploring Huinay Huayna by moonlight.

The only problem was a slight difference in styles. Mine was more along the lines of silent and meditative contemplation; theirs involved a ritualistic circle chant, led by the charismatic lone male in the group whom I thereafter nicknamed the Warlock. Absenting myself from the circle that night, I made a mental note to 34___________ my distance from them the next day at Machu Picchu.

Before dawn the following morning we climbed to the mountaintop Gateway of the Sun, hoping for the classic panoramic view of Machu Picchu before the tour buses arrived. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate. With dozens of other disappointed trekkers, I shivered on the hilltop in chilly fog for two hours, waiting for a sunrise that never came, then trudged down the hill to Machu Picchu itself. As I 35___________, the clouds started lifting, revealing the place to be every bit as spectacular as I could have hoped. By day's end, my tour group had dispersed, apparently preferring a hot bath. I, however, felt I was just 36___________ the surface.
