Success (Monday Message)

Hi,
From what I've been hearing, it's hot everywhere. We had a slight reprieve and some overnight rain but by mid-day today it was hot again. Not a big problem. Run inside and get cool. Someday, maybe, I'll be able to go out in the noon day sun all wrapped up like the workers on the house. For now, no way.
The weekend song was from The Beatles. It was "Hello, Goodbye" and I got a moderate response. I guess that means you're needing an easy one. Hmm, let me see... "When the truth is found to be lies, and all the joy within you dies, don't you want __ __ __..."
Hint: The song is asking a musical question. It's something everybody wants. Hmm. Oh yes, the group was something that flies.
We had a nice weekend. We went over to The Place and got more nagging questions answered. We went through a few rooms and looked over the progress and had a big laugh as Supat imitated me, sitting in the music room playing the piano and looking out at the view. The workers were putting the final layer of concrete on the living room floor in preparation for the wood floor. More tile was in place and the 'feel' of some of the rooms was obvious.
Sunday we had lunch in town and ate dinner at home. A switch from our usual pattern. After programing the DVD for the F1 race, we went into town. First stop was a massage. The women work on a rotation, so you never know who you'll get, but I got the same woman as last time. Her name is Nit and she remembered that I didn't want any twisting movements or walking on the back. Lisa had a woman named Lin and she was very sensitive to certain problem areas. We ask if we could have them next week and they assured us that is wouldn't be a problem. We left feeling refreshed. Then it was off to the NB. I was to meet my new friends for a Didjeridoo circle. They were nowhere to be found so we walked around a bit and came home. Then the rains came.
Today we met with the curtain lady, watched the race and had a mellow day. In a conversation with C-Bass, he told us about a web site where we could watch movies. It's a little shaky right now because of our bandwidth issues, but that should be much different after Thursday. We'll be moving to a new package that should give us more oomph. Right now we share the line with 20 other users. With the new program we'll only be sharing with 10 users and from what I've read on the forums, life will be smoother. It still won't be like the internet you get in the U.S., but it will seem like high speed to us. Nothing like having real broadband.
Observing the two-wheel culture is one of my favorite things. It struck me today that there is an ease of movement among the motorbike riders that seems very natural. They just hop on and glide through traffic like it's no big deal. The fact that the traffic moves at a much slower pace probably has a lot to do with it. I remember a cab driver in Bali telling us that every family has at least one bike, maybe more. I'm sure I'll have more to say about this for a long time.
Time for a new Wonderfilled Week.

Peace,
Danny
