• I'm home!

  It was a terrific trip, being able to see Alex after over a year, and Beth, Hannah and Faith.   

  Thank you, Alexander! 

  I trust the poppets are better?  Faith seemed definitely on the mend last night and this morning, at least.

  It was an odd thing, but while in Japan I'd take photos with my cell phone but they wouldn't appear in my "pictures" section even though the "saved to card" message appeared.  Now I'm back in the US they're visible.  Okay, I could understand the phone requiring a connection with Verizon to reveal photos at all, but why would the older photos appear but not the new ones?  That's puzzling to me.  Whatever, that's what happened, so here's a photo I took of Beth and Hannah in Beth's hospital room the evening of the day she had her surgery:

  

  Isn't that a cute photo of them?  ;^)

  While waiting in line at immigration/customs after landing this morning, I noticed on the monitor that a Vietnam Air flight had also arrived from Narita; after a bit, here came some nattily dressed attendants that I'm guessing work for that airline:

  

  Taken with my cell phone from a ways away and cropped, it's not showing the details such as the hair ornaments sported by them.  Trust me, these ladies were elegance on the hoof. 

  BTW, to my mind the International Date Line has a lot to answer for, as it's just plain weird to arrive at one's destination before one left.  My flight departed on the 27th at 11:30 a.m. but arrived in DFW on the same day at 8:30 a.m.  Very mixing, it is!
