Giant Pandas

My trip to LA was really fun and very much worthwile. It is not often that you can make up for a blunder and have it all turn out better. Missing the Christmas gathering was a bummer, but being able to make it up yesterday was very nice.

Faye was really surprised when she saw me. I called her on the cell phone when I was outside her backdoor. The last thing that I wanted to do was scare her and cause her to have a heart attack. She was very happy to see me. In fact, so happy that she dropped her pants on the foor. When I called, she was stepping out of the shower, just put on her nighty, and the phone had rung. In a rush to get to the phone, she just dropped her her pants and left them on the floor. That was an odd sight. But, at least no heart attack.

When I left to catch the plane back home, Faye told me to "come and surprise me again". I think that I will.

On the JetBlue flght home, I watched their Directv programming. There are 36 channels of satellite tv in every seat. It is pretty cool and a nice way to spend the time flying home. On the way down, I watched "Dodgeball" for about the 6th time. On the way home, I watched the Animal Planet's Giant Panda special. The first part of the show was all about the little Panda Tai Shan that was born July 2005. And, the second part was about Panda mom - Mei Xiang and pop - Tian Tian's flight from China to the US. Pretty cute creatures. They are almost as cute as our cats.
