Pausing in Albuquerque...
Oct. 7th, 2005 10:13 pmI'm just off the plane from Cincinnatti.
It has been a long day. My mom's condition did not improve during today's visit, nor did it particularly degrade. I'm not at all sure she realized I was in the room, despite the fact that she was awake and looked at me. She said nothing. I do not know if I will see her again in this life.
Kazakhstan in October is looking dimmer day by day, though I still need to reapply for a multiple-entry visa for the future. I received an inquiry today about my availability in mid-November, to which I replied with the message "let me get back to you early next week." I hope the job does not go away. Frankly, I don't feel that bad about "losing" the Baikonur gig; I never had it to begin with, anyway.
Time to fold up the computer and go pick up my bag. With any luck, Galina is waiting to pick me up in the arrivals area.
Cheers...
