My mother arrived by train this evening from NYC. She has kindly offered to stay with Nicolai while I am travelling in China on business next week. We drove directly from the train station to the airport where we picked up my brother, who is a pilot with Delta Airlines. He is in town on a layover which afforded us enough time for dinner together. It was a nice surprise for my mom who did not know she would be getting two sons for the price of one. It is the first time I have ever seen him decked out in his pilot’s uniform and had hoped to include a picture of him as well. Unfortunately, I managed to drop my camera as it slipped from my gloved hand and was not able to get the shot. Hopefully I will get another chance the next time he is in town.
