April Fools!
Last night was poker night, and I did drive to LAX. However, the truth is that I drove to LAX to pick up my world-traveling mother-in-law! She had just flown in from Thailand. She was supposed to arrive next week, but she cut her trip short because there is discontent brewing in Thailand, and there might be a strike that would shut the airports down.
LAX was surprisingly congested for a Monday evening, and the cops were everywhere. They were giving out tickets like hot cakes! It kind of seems lame to pester people when they are simply desperate to pick-up or drop-off someone and the airport is a disaster. It can be so tricky to navigate and negotiate those crowded lanes.
However, I digress.
My mother-in-law and I had a great time discussing her trip, as well as some of Thailand's intriguing cultural and historical details. For example, I did not know that Thailand was a kingdom with the world's "longest-serving current head of state". She also regaled me with tales about climbing thousands of steps to get to a breath-taking temple, playing tennis in heat and humidity, and the unique texture of Thai mangoes! We also discussed my return to school and the kids, of course. There was much to discuss, and I'm sure we could have talked for hours! However, duty called, just as it is calling now. Ciao!

Here's an interesting tidbit I bet you didn't know: Shelayna Kennedy is "longest-serving current head of the state of Layer-dome". All hail the Layer Queen!
