Jeff and I escaped from the
land of the weird and will be in the states his summer. My luggage stayed in
Beijing.

We made a quick stop in Los
Angeles, then flew on to Chicago.

I forgot how diverse America
is.

On the block I use to live
(Boystown/Wrigleyville)
 you can get Turkish,
Italian, American, Thai, Japanese, Korean, Greek, and Mexican all within
burping distance.

While my taste buds might
crave these acid reflux emporiums, the only thing I truly miss while living in China
is my mom.

I’m up visiting her now in a little cottage in Charlevoix, Michigan.. We’re
eating at the same establishment every day.

Her kitchen table.

But it wasn’t always that
way. Last summer, this eighty-one going on four year old  started this quirky
habit of eating in bed.
 

I’m not talking a light
breakfast in the morning, but half gallons of ice cream, midnight snacks of rotisserie
chickens, even asparagus spears.

Don’t ask.

But last week, at the cabin
where we are staying, there was a bear sighting. Really! Two of the teen girls
who stay at the cottages saw a black bear poking around in the woods.

The thought of having a bear
crawl in her bedroom window has put the kabash on my mom’s nocturnal nibbling.

At least, temporarily.

Hopefully, we’ll have other epicurean adventures that might require attire other than  flannel pajamas.
