Oh my Mother's timing is EXCELLENT, as usual.

SARS.

Iraq.

N. Korea.

Tomorrow morning my Mom flies to Shenyang, 100 mi from the NK border, for three weeks of business.

*sigh*

Thanks! We start out on Sunday.

So, any word on your mother?

In classic Mom style...

She was supposed to be on her Tue morning.

I get a call from her Tue evening "Oh no, I changed my flight last night to *tomorrow* morning..." seems that an item she had ordered to take with her on the trip hadn't been delivered overnight like it was supposed to be... so she just shifted a three week business trip a day to accomodate. *shakes head*

So she left Wed morning.

Or so I thought. Turns out she changed it *AGAIN* to today at the last minute. She's now on her way.

I swear she lives in a completely different reality most of the time.

Wowsers.

I think Khan's company was alternately

• bearly willing to wait for us to get our passports and shots
  
  
• not comfortable with us being willing to stay over in San Francisco rather than do the entire Visa transaction by mail

I'm beginning to think that international business trips are just kinda wacky.
