So yesterday I’m packing my stuff for the trip, looking for things I promised to bring back to my parents (I’m giving them my old Kodak digital camera, which has been buried in a box for over a year), and I find a couple of postcards that I had written during my trip to Beijing last Summer but had forgotten to send. Figuring better late than never, I decided to mail them. One of them is going to my parents, who I will end up seeing before the card gets there.
