Such is life...

Father decided they would go to Zhenjiang to see the American Navy ship that was coming to visit. As it turns out, they go to see Lt. It is a surprise for them. Father asked why I did not tell them sooner. I explained to him I could not do so. This was followed by a lengthy explanation of OPSEC. Also, I had to remind him that while the two nations are cordial, they remain rivals with differing agendas for Asia. So, here I sit in Japan with Little One while Lt has dinner with Mother and Father in China. It is a strange way of living I have chosen.
