Lighting and much rain followed us home.

As noted above, Michele got into the Medical Anthropology PHD program at UC Berkeley. She is very excited as there are only 2 people accepted out of 50 applicants. We high fived everyone in the internet cafe. Her fingers are furiously typing an email to her mother. She was worried but I told her that she was going to get in. Maybe now she'll listen to me more often. HA.

In other departments of good news, Air India finally found my bag. We picked it up at the airport when we welcomed our dear friend Annabelle. After picking AB out of the throngs of Sihks we made our way to the dreaded room #49 and our journey through paperwork and long waiting began.

I was informed that my bag had arrived two days earlier. Air India let me know that they would reimburse me for the transit costs to the airport and any baggage storage fees. It wasn't that big of a deal, just a long wait and many receipts to be filled from customs, air india and the airport security. Lighting and much rain followed us home.

I am wearing clean pants and underwear for the second straight day and Michele got into Berkeley... Life is good.

Tommorow the planning and preparation for the Deaf Women's Cultural Conference begins. Wish us luck.
