3 days to go...

Got a tetanus shot today. Bought a good-quality but inexpensive all-purpose hat (rain, sun, dust, etc.).  Answered a jillion emails. Confirmed my air miles with Delta.  Grabbed a quick lunch.  Arranged some meetings for tomorrow.  Got my hair trimmed.  Made a list of stuff to get at REI: sleeping bag, dehydrated food, etc.  Pulled out my travel bag and started collecting stuff.

Then in the midst of it, Rich emailed with news from a friend who has just returned from Japan with some good advice on a couple items, including being prepared in case of "the unlikely event of a nuclear meltdown".  Hmmm.

So I wrote him back that if a meltdown occurs, we'll take every precaution to be safe. (Imagine the stories we'll have to tell our families and friends if we have to hide in a Japanese basement for an unplanned 6 weeks!) We're fortunate in that we have partner churches up north in Sapporo and further south in Osaka area so we can also evacuate to either of those places and be approx 500 miles away from the reactors.

Gotta finish up my Starbucks coffee and get rolling.
