Mature

Hi,

The weather returned to it's unseasonable 'normal' today. We went to the veggie/fruit market, and the pet supply store for our out-of-the-house excursion.

That 'Easy Monday' song you wrestled with was "Spinning Wheel" by Blood, Sweat & Tears. This week we will see the demise of the 'Summer of Love' category with one last entry. There was lots of memorable music that year, and I think we've covered the ones that were not too obscure. Send me your favorite musical year and I'll play with that year for Wednesday's 'game'. I'll choose the years in order of 'arrival' in my inbox. Our final 'Summer of Love' song has a fitting sentiment. It's by a duo that had a few hits and a TV show. "Charleston was once the rage, uh huh. History has turned the page, uh huh. The mini skirt's the current thing, uh huh. Teenybopper is our newborn king, uh huh. __ __ __ __, __ __ __ __. Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain. La de da de de, la de da de da." Clue: So, the title is four words about the passing of time.

This morning, when I took Daku downstairs, it was dry. When we went for his play time around 7:30, it was starting to rain. About an hour later the pool guy arrived. It still amazes me how he does his job in the rain. He has upgraded his work outfit to include a full, hooded raincoat. Imagine looking out and seeing a black, hooded being holding a long broom, pushing it through the water, in the rain. Very surreal.

With all the morning rain, Boot hadn't gone to the market. When we told her we were going out, she said she needed vegetables. It was a pretty routine stop, except that our regular chicken lady wasn't there. There are two other women who sell chicken, but it's just not the same. After the market stop we went to Bus Station street. I went to Sahapaiboon for lightbulbs and Lisa went to the pet supply for treats and vitamins. That's what I call efficient shopping.

Friday we will be celebrating our 41st year together. This year we're going to spend the night and day at Le Meridien Resort here in Chiang Rai. The whole layout of the hotel is beautiful. The back of the property looks out on the Mae Kok river. There are gardens to stroll, and if the weather holds up, a huge pool that gives a view of the grounds and the river. We've never stayed there so it will be an adventure in our own back yard.

It's time for Wacky Wednesday.

Peace,
Danny
