1/20 Back to New York. Because of a short layover in Amsterdam I suggested we check the wheelchair through to final and rely on the airport wheelchair service, for the first and only time in three years. Wheelchair arrives broken in New York, does not react to the joystick. I push J, her violin on my back, she keeping the two big suitcases with outstretched arms by her side. Patience among us is in short supply.
