I welcome comments.  I think it works now.  

Wed, 4/4.  Tonight I board a plane.  After 30 minutes of Thursday, the plane takes off.  Temporal discontinuity occurs (It’s a Scify thing).  On Friday it lands.

It’s a complication that I spend the day watching the news in case a new level of international “dumbness” impedes the trip.  (Restricting visas is a potential retaliatory action in trade wars.)  It’s a source of frustration and embarrassment that my country’s leader is causing it.  I got a call from our Team Leader “Jacky” last night, which worried me momentarily, but he was just checking if I had any questions.  Whew.

I’m still not 100% sure that I’ll be able to update this blog in China.  I’m using a VPN service, which masks my location.  If there’s no update on Saturday it’ll mean bad news. Set an alarm for April 27th.
