My mother is home

[carbonel]

She arrived in Chicago on Saturday. She is dealing with jet lag and cranky about the cold, but otherwise well.

She plans to head to Florida soon to visit her sister, who lives there.

I find a certain irony in the fact that the impromptu cruise from Copenhagen to New York, taken on with about a month's notice, went off without a hitch, whereas this one, that was well-planned months ahead, foundered on the grounds of external complications. Best laid plans, and all that...

Very glad she's home.

I've often reflected upon the irony you mention. But I've also had pretty disastrous results winging things that should not be winged. (Pigs, perhaps. But I digress.) So it's hard to just fling planning to the wind even when you know a portion of it will all be for nothing.

Glad your mother's home safe.

Circumstances do sometimes get out of hand.

I hope she does not develop a fever.
