Hi,
Our Wednesday was a day of running errands, and getting supplies. 'Quick food' for lunch and another home-cooked dinner are making this stay feel a bit like home.
Several of you knew this 'Song of '75' right away. The next lyrics should clear up any doubts if you were close:
"Now he's back home doing 9 to 5, living his grey flannel life. But when he turned off to sleep, old memories meet, more, more, more.... Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir? Voulez-vous coucher avec moi. (Repeat Voulez-vous twice)" Hint: Be careful with that French. You could get a slap in the face.
While I enjoy seeing the expanse of the supermarkets and the abundance of possibilities, it becomes a little more overwhelming with each trip. We find what we need, but it seems like there's a lot of travel down many aisles to get there. Hmm. By next week I may have this thing down. (555)
We had what I'd consider 'quick food' for lunch. Non-gourmet Japanese food that was good, but not special. Even though it's hard sometimes, to find the perfect restaurant, the closest thing to suit my eating requirements is still Thai food. It doesn't mean I don't get brave and eat other stuff, but I know what I like and I know what likes me.
Part of our afternoon was spent setting up more meals and meetings with friends. There's still more to do in that area, but staying a few days ahead helps. We started watching some World Cup skiing, but the Nap Monster interrupted and we crashed.
We spent the evening with Herb and Lenore. Lisa used to work for Herb at the institute before she retired. We really enjoyed the whole evening, which started with a tour of his African art collection. We had a delicious, home-cooked dinner, and conversation about Thailand, art, and culture. We learned a lot, shared a lot, and connected on many levels.
Thursday morning starts at Dinah's, then Nicole's, and then to parts unknown. One thing's for sure, things aren't dull.
Have a Thrilling Thursday,
Peace,
Danny
