A. is flying out here, I should say, on November 15, a few days before my mother returns from her trip to Australia. By coincidence, A.’s own mother and sister and brother-in-law all live here in Phoenix too, so A. will be able to visit them before she and I return together to New York, on November 21. I’ll of course visit them too, with A. They live on the other side of Phoenix from where my parents live, so it’s a bit of a drive to get to them. My parents don’t actually live in Phoenix, or even Scottsdale, but in a town about twenty miles east of there, not far from Mesa. I just refer to the whole area as Phoenix, in my mind, because it is easier to do so.
