Off to China! and a prayer request.

I have off to China to pick up my daughter. I will be away from the Internets (thanks, Al Gore!) for the next three weeks, so if any new memes start up, such as "All yours bases are belong to us!" I will have to be left behind. But that is OK by me — I have never been attentive to the latest changes in fashion, and I for one am still thinking over whether to approve and participate in an innovations in Western civilization circa Fifth Century. I have only quite recently bought into this bizarre new Syriac cult Constantine and his soldiers put such stock in, for example. Don’t be hasty–that is my motto. Hoom. Hm.

Speaking of which: My stoic reserve, I admit, is slightly perturbed by the coming event. Like all deeply-rooted ents, I cordially dislike travel, particularly air travel, and adding a new member to the family is a difficult process, even when the angels are helping. If any of the faithful will offer prayers in support of my family and the unknown future we face, I would very much appreciated it.
