Truly, we are living in an amazing time. Scientists have sent a man to the moon. Doctors can replace a diseased heart with an artificial one. A microwave oven will bake a potato in under 5 minutes. And tonight I got to video conference with my sister's third-grade classroom halfway around the world in Woolwich, Maine. How cool is that?
Thanks to Skype, during this little adventure I have been able to talk to my husband face-to-face every day, chat with friends and family, and answer my sister's students' questions about pandas, acupuncture, and how to safely cross the road in China. It sure makes me feel a lot closer to home, despite that 22-hour journey to get here.
Now I'm just holding out for a flying car.

Hi Alexa - I'm the secretary at WCS, and had the pleasure of peeking at your Skype visit today! The kids (and your sister!) loved it! In response to your "waiting for a flying car" comment, I have a friend whose son works for this company: http://www.terrafugia.com/vehicle.html
It's not far away...... :)

Alexa: We just saw your car flying out of the Yo San garage and onto Washington Boulevard, with LAPD in pursuit. The future has arrived!!!
