Hi,
Today we had another art related adventure. We also had a brief downpour that watered everything.
It seems that the 'Easy Monday' song is a hit, again. I got a huge response this week. Glad I struck a chord.
"I've tried so hard, hard to be patient, hoping you'd stop this infatuation. But each time you are together, I'm so afraid of losing you forever. __! __ __ __ __ __, before you break my heart....Think it over." Hint: I think we're past that.
This morning we had to go to Makro for supplies. We also had to return our air-cooler for repair. It just stopped working, but it's still under warranty so we're hoping they'll take care of it. From Makro we went to a coffee house called Chivit Thamma Da, which sits on the bank of the Mae Kok river. The owner, contacted Lisa about displaying her artwork in their main sitting room. It's like a solarium, with lots of glass and antique furniture. We have known him for some time so it was easy to discuss the concept. There is space for seven cast acrylic prints along with a background page. They get lots of out-of-town visitors as well as locals and it might be a great opportunity for widening the 'fan base'.
Since we have had little rain lately, the pool has been warming up. Today it was very comfortable. We swam and replayed the day. Then a big cloud covered the sun.
Around 5pm I glanced out the window and the air at ground level was gray. Someone was burning a giant pile of trash. When we left the air-conditioned bedroom the smell of the smoke was clearly plastic. The doors and windows downstairs were open and the house smelled like smoke. After closing things up I put the air filter machine in the dining room. It took awhile for us to calm down from the invasion. The idea that it is OK to just burn and fill the air like that seems to still be prevalent. Sometime progress is slow. The sudden downpour after dinner helped wash the sky.
At Saturday's dinner party there was an instrument sitting in the front of the dining room. I had seen one before, but didn't know the exact name or origin. Our friend Third Googled 'Harps' on his phone and we learned that it was a Burmese Harp. It was a sharp contrast to the Karaoke technology on the other side of the room.

Have a Happy Tuesday.
Peace,
Danny
