Hi,
We had a moderately busy Tuesday here on the Westside. Our activities included a friendly doctor visit, meals at two different Thai restaurants and a little attempt at shopping. Homesickness has begun.
That 'Easy Monday' song that so many of you knew was "Stop! In The Name of Love" by The Supremes. It's Wednesday and that means it's time for some 'Bad Ass Bass'. This one goes out to Christopher, who is craving some inspired bass playing. I think this will fill the bill: "__ here! The world's only rhinestone rock star doll baby. I wanna be your toy. I wanna play for you. Created by Funk-A-Tech Incorporated, makers of funky things to play with. Wind me up!" Clue: The one word title is a play on the bass players name, a being who landed with the Mother Ship. It's pretty clear as to what it's about.
In the morning I took Lisa to Santa Monica to see our friend Amir, who is an acupuncturist. She got a tune-up in exchange for a bunch of herbal 'balls' that we brought him. We don't know what the herbs are, but they are picked in the forest by a man in Chiang Rai and they have healing properties. I got to see photos of his family and we had a fun visit.
August had a short schedule at school today so we were to pick him up at 12:15. We got to the school early so we just hung out in the car, playing solitaire on our respective phones. A new way to pass the time.
We had one of our 'traditional' lunches at Thai Boom with our friends Paul, Joy and Leilani who is almost three. She made friends with one of the servers and wanted to know her name. When she heard that it was 'Apple', she made a joke and decided the other server's name was 'Banana'. It's always nice to get an update on their lives and share a meal.
In the early evening we had another 'traditional' meal with our good friend Kathie at Emerald Thai. We always have fun and learn a lot when we get together. She's building travel web sites and she always has interesting stories to tell about far away places. We will return to Emerald later this week to sit and talk and share photos of Thailand with our friend Nid, who runs the place. We've been going there for at least 12 years. Hmm.
Somebody's Missing the Pool
It's too soon to start a countdown to our return to Thailand, but we're missing the dogs, the house, the yard, the pool, and Boot's cooking. I guess that qualifies as becoming homesick. We're really enjoying ourselves, seeing all the people we can fit into the time frame, but it will be good to get back. Maybe you should visit us. (555)
Feels like a Wacky Wednesday.
Peace,
Danny
"Like a stone dropped into a lake,
our acts of kindness can create a ripple effect.The long-term effects may be unknown to us,
but the ripples of one wave creating another and another,
to forever impact - that is a definite fact.
Make your ripples today."
