Whidbey Island, 5/15/09
Deb and Kaj return from their author tour of Japan on 05/05. Deb had a bad cold--no voice. A few days home and Deb drives to Portland to speak at Diane Hamm’s memorial service. Gone Saturday/Sunday. Planning kids’ upcoming weekend stays, memorial service at church on Tuesday, Brothers’ rehearsal on Wednesday, WELCA presentation on Thursday, packing and kids’ homework Thursday night, bring Kaj to bus and Ollie to Robin’s office at 7:00 AM Friday, home, load car with Sandra and Jean’s stuff, load them, drop them at Means’ house to wait for school bus, drive to Freeland, pick up Anne Belov and drive to Queen Anne Books for morning book event. Sing one song. (Mona Zuill appears by divine intervention for a visit.) Take Shuttle Express to airport, smooth transit through airport to plane. Smooth flight, arrive about 4:25 PM Saturday. Sit on plane while hooded, masked, goggled and suited swine flu inspectors came on board and read our temperatures with a camera, examined our new health sheet, then sat while they finished the whole A330 plane. Took about 45 minutes. Released! Zipped through customs and onto the waiting Billboard bus with Ena, our guide. 90 minute ride to town. Arrived at Tokyo Hilton just after 7:00. Got in room.
Thus began our Billboard Tour of Japan, 05/2009.
Tired. Going to bed. Finally.
