Back From Asia

My father returned safely early this afternoon.

My mother retrieved him at the airport, took him home, fed him oyster chowder and chicken breasts with noodles, brought him up date on what had happened during his absence (not much of anything happened, and there was not much of anything to impart) and put him to bed.

He was asleep by 5:00 p.m., settled in for a long night’s rest.
