Sometimes...

Hi,

Cooler temps for most of the day are a welcome thing right now.  Errands were run, the dogs had a doggie play-date, and a house guest left this evening.  It's been a full day. 

Just because 'Easy Monday' is easy doesn't mean you don't have to tell me something.  (555)  If you know, tell me.
"She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh.  I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath.  And when I awoke, I was alone, this bird had flown.  So I lit a fire, isn't it good, __ __."  Hint:  It's another from an LP that goes round and round, by them boys from across the pond.

This morning, we had our usual dog play.  In the photo below I'm teasing Daku, trying to get him to run.  It has become a game that we seem to understand.


There is a new edition of the OTOP Festival across the river.  We were going to check it out tomorrow.  I can't tell if it's a big one or a small one, but they do have live music so it's probably a big one.  The difference is in the quantity and quality of products that the vendors bring.  Some of the districts bring things that are produced by locals in that area.  Others bring packaged goods that they are distributing, which is a very different thing.   

The big event of the day was an afternoon play-date with Jago.  Gary and Jago arrived around 4pm and when I told Daku that his friend was here he put his paws on the counter by the window (a real no no) to look out.  He and Jago  had one of their joyful meetings, did their little happy dance and began tearing around the yard.  BamBam was still inside, having a fit, wanting to be out there.  We know that she needs a little time to settle down, so she doesn't attack Jago.  Once we let her out, she became the object of his affection.  He wanted her to play with him but she just ignored him.  It went like that for the whole time.  All three dogs ran a lot and had a good time.  There will be running dreams tonight.

This evening we said goodbye to our friend Alan.  He is flying back to the US after living here for almost 2 years.  He came to our house after a sad breakup and spent a few days before his flight.  We had conversations about learning to live here in Thailand, and making the transition back to the other side of the world, and taking care of oneself.  He and the dogs got along great, and we got the benefit of his 'Healing Touch' physical therapy.  

Have a Happy Tuesday.

                Peace,
                          Danny

and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you,
you will suddenly know everything there is to be known."
