The first emotion, anticipation, is easy to explain and expected at a time like this.

No one, but NO ONE, can turn a normal (relatively speaking) adult male into a quivering mass of overcooked spaghetti faster than a mother, and if it's your OWN mother it's even worse. Just keep reminding her (and yourself) that ALL your problems are her fault; it'll keep her off balance. You might also mention the dificulty you are having in deciding whether or not to adopt....THAT ought to be good for 15-20 minutes of silence.
Good luck and be well,

an easy way to get through customs...is have a few cocktails...but not too much to get loaded...it helps to relax. (i made it through customs with a very large bag of mexican skunk weed on a trip back to germany)
don't worry about everything that happened last year...because it is impossible for that to happen again...just worry about the in flight food...that shit is murder.
good luck on the trip and drink a beer in london for me (or sleep with a hooker in hong kong for me...LOL)

What I don't understand are these deconstruction-proof adults. I can point at my mom and my grandmother and tell them, point-blank, which games they're playing and what destructive patterns they're perpetuating. They'll blink, apparently erase the past five minutes of the conversation from their short-term memory, and go back to endless sniping at one another using me as a weapon. At least people my age have a tendency to say, "...oh." And then at least appear to ponder for a bit.
Of course, I really ought to know better than to attempt anything of the sort, but they're not the only ones with bad habits...

They tend to come as a pair, gift-wrapped and everything. I don't know how social services find the time!
