My Mom is coming to Taiwan to visit me. She'll be here on Friday. I know it's probably going to scare the hell out of her, but she's doing it. After living overseas for 6 years, she's finally visiting. I'm actually quite pleased. I know Dad would never make the trip. He hasn't even been to Australia to visit his first grandchild.

Tim and I have been cleaning the house, since that's what gay men do isn't it? I think as far as tourism goes, we'll start off small, with a walk around the neighborhood, and gradually work up to the scooter. I think she may be willing to ride one after she sees the 80 year old men on motorcycles and the family of 4 on a scooter.

Wish us all luck. Especially Mom, who's flying China Airlines.
