Love

Hi,

Today we woke up to the coldest morning yet. By some standards, it's not cold yet, but you couldn't convince anyone here in Chiang Rai. Tomorrow we go to Bangkok, where the low is the high for Chiang Rai. Hmm.

The 'Easy Monday' song was a snap for many. It appears to be a favorite across several generations. Last verse:
"And if you listen very hard, the tune will come to you at last. When all are one and one is all, yeah, to be a rock and not to roll... And she's buying a __ __ __." Hint: Ha, it's Easy Monday. Did you forget?

I spent the morning driving around town getting this and doing that and generally following a list. After lunch we went to Central Plaza to meet with Jaffee and go over logistics for Lisa's February exhibit in Chiang Mai. Many things will have to be set in motion while we are gone. Right now, all of the art is in our guest room. It was delivered yesterday in three wooden crates.

The current display in the main area of Central Plaza is a giant dinosaur exhibit. In addition to the skeletal giant and a smaller sidekick, there is a large sandbox that kids can enter and see if they can dig up some bones. There's a souvenir counter with lots of 'dino dolls' and models. It appears to be a run by a company that contracts to large facilities like the mall. It's a great idea and draws lots of attention.

We have everything we need to proceed with our trip. This time we thought about the things we didn't have enough of and made sure to pack extras. Our friend Tye will take us to the airport for our flight to Bangkok. We'll stay there overnight and fly to the U.S. by way of Taipai. We leave on 22 and arrive on 22. The mystery continues and always makes us laugh. The next communication will come from somewhere in Bangkok, at the Rembrandt Hotel.

Have a Happy Tuesday.

Peace,
Danny
