I\u2019m using the day to prepare for my big week ahead. Monday, I\u2019m scheduled to present card tricks to the Grade 8 classes at BISS. They\u2019re studying a unit on \u201cIllusions\u201d. I\u2019ve been practicing, but I need to nail down exactly which tricks I\u2019ll do, and what order I\u2019ll do them in.<\/p>\n
Tuesday, I\u2019m traveling to Suzhou for the World Table Tennis Championships. The train departs at 7:00 am, so it\u2019s going to be an early departure. I\u2019ll spend Tuesday night in Suzhou and return late Wednesday (11:00 pm) to Beijing.<\/p>\n
The Tibet flight leaves Beijing Wednesday at 9:00 am, so it\u2019ll be another early morning, trying to arrive at the airport two hours before departure. I\u2019ll be in Tibet through Sunday, with a 10:00 pm arrival.<\/p>\n
Suzhou is hot and humid, and Lhasa, Tibet, is having a snowstorm today. We\u2019re also beginning to hear the reports about the massive earthquake in Nepal. That should give my mom something unique to add to her worry list.<\/p>\n
Our tailor called late in the afternoon, asking to come by with our new stuff. She drops by and we try on the new jackets. Judy\u2019s is a perfect fit. Mine still has to be taken up a little (that\u2019s a change from my usual \u201ccan you let this out?\u201d).\u00a0\u00a0 We add a few other alterations and I\u2019m now gonna need a shirt to go with my jacket. I\u2019ll be looking \u201cBAD\u201d, when I come home this summer with my new snazzy duds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
