Seek

Hi,
Seems like I've been later and later with this message. This time it was a matter of computer timing. I needed to re-calibrate my battery and it had to be dormant for five hours. Of course, I waited until this afternoon to put it to sleep.
Just to set your mind at ease, we didn't feel the earthquake in China. There were reports that it was felt in Bangkok, but we didn't notice a thing here in the north.
I didn't get much mail on the songs. Two of you knew "Money" by Barrett Strong but nobody got "Money" by Pink Floyd. Shame on you. Onward into the new week. Here's one from the mid 80s that's sure to stir some old musical memories. If not today, tomorrow.
"__ __ __ __ __ __, who am I to disagree. I travel the world and the seven seas, everybody's looking for something..." Hint: Group name is a contraction of a geographical term and a musical term. Hmm.
We're packing for another little trip. This time down to Bangkok for a couple of days. We're going to visit our friend John, from Bali, who's recovering from knee surgery. The hospital has apartments for guests of patients. They were full, but they had a list of close hotels and helped us with arrangements. That's what I call service. We're taking an early flight down and a late flight back. Something we've never done before.
I'm gonna miss the house over the next two days. Things are changing so fast that it's like 'Blink' and it's different. Today we saw the front yard cleared and contoured. The steel rails for our balcony were being made. The kitchen cabinets are in place and more doors and windows were going in. Tomorrow they start setting the dark blue tiles in the pool. The new finish date is a few days ahead of schedule. It's looking like we'll actually start living there on June 1. More pics will go up soon.
This evening we spotted a woman on her motorbike with her dog. Not unusual except that the dog was standing on the seat, in front of her, with it's front paws on the handlebars. Just out for an evening spin of the neighborhood.
Have a Great week.

Peace,
Danny
