I’ll be picked up in about half an hour. Everything is finished and ready, or as ready as I ever get. I was able to close my suitcase. I think I packed everything I will need. I’m flying to Chicago today. I’ll have dinner with Betty and Carol, and spend the night with Carol. Tomorrow I’ll have breakfast with Al and Phyllis, then on to Tokyo. For the next month I’ll be posting at Japan on my Mind. Come and visit me there.
