Countdown to 回国: 1 day

By this time tomorrow I'll be two-thirds of the way home - back to New York, that is. My luggage, like me, has 减肥 jianfei - slimmed down since our arrival in September. I'll have less girth than I came with! I've given away the books I brought and am taking home only a few new ones.
None backs up the appeals to China in Justice Kennedy's majority opinion or Chief Justice Roberts' dissent in SCOTUS' gay marriage ruling. But the 海尔 Haier brothers, who've smiled at me from the fridges in both places I've stayed, surely approve. May love win everywhere!
