The Call
Ping just called to tell me that she is in San Francisco, ready to board the plane to Houston. She said that the customs lady took everything out of her luggage and asked her many questions, so she got to the departure gate just as they were boarding.
I don't remember them doing this before, she said. They didn't, I told her, because I was with you. But this time you were entering America alone. You are from China. This is how they treat you. I have other Chinese friends and this is what happens to them each time they enter America as well.
But she was happy and laughing with me, anxious to be home with Cici and me. Less than 4.5 hours now and she will be with us.
But first, I have to go downtown for a meeting, then back to the office, then pick Cici up from school, then to the airport.

Even I'm excited to see that Ping is almost back!
I guess I won't need to check this blog this weekend!
I hope the three of you can have a great time now that you will be reunited!
