Kindness

Hi,

It was another dry day in Chiang Rai. I could get used to this. There were clouds, and moments when we wondered what might happen, but it was a beautiful day. We went into town this afternoon.

Quite a few of you knew the 'Summer of Love' song. Our friend Wayne, from Texas, was the first and only person to write in with a favorite year. He picked 1968, so for the next four Wednesdays we will be playing with Golden Oldies from that year. Right now we still have to finish off the 'Summer of Love', with a song from a married couple who later became a diva and a politician respectively. "Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce. Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss. The cars keep going faster all the time. Bums still cry 'hey buddy, have you got a dime'. __ __ __ __ __, __ __ __ __,......" Hint: There's a reference in the title to something a drum does, like the ticking of a clock.

We stayed around the house for most of the day. This afternoon Lisa got a massage and I took care of some house business. On our way into town we spotted a little red car with big letters on the back window stating: "This car is White". What? We also saw three kids on a motorbike, which is not unusual, but the last one on the back was holding a guitar. Hmm. Not a day goes by when we don't see something that we'd never see in the States.

All of the arrangements have been finalized for our anniversary 'getaway' at Le Meridien. It's going to be fun, staying in a place we've been to many times, but never as 'guests'. We have a 'Garden View' room, and the use of many tempting facilities. Saturday afternoon we'll check out, and then return for a gathering in the evening with some of our friends.

Have a Thrilling Thursday.

Peace,
Danny
