Hi,
It's still cold here. The coldest it's been in a very long time. It's even cold in Bangkok, which is normally always hot. It warms up a bit during the day, and in the sun it feels hot, but we know better than to get too happy with that. Waiting for warm.
There have been a couple of responses with half the answer. The 'Zany Day' song strikes again. Brother Denny got it, so can you. "Well, __ __ __ she's built for speed, she got everything that Uncle John need, oh baby, Ye-e-eah baby. Woo-o-o-oh baby, havin' me some fun tonight. Well, I saw Uncle John with __ __ __. He saw Aunt Mary comin' and he ducked back in the alley. Oh baby...." Clue: It's obviously a woman, and she happens to have a height advantage on Uncle John. Hmm, her name rhymes with alley. Now I've given it away. Note: On the record it sounds like the singer is saying '...Sawn Mary comin'..." Hey, it's Rock & Roll.
I've been quite proud of my quick 'transition' with the turn signal lever since our return from America. This morning, on our way home from Makro, Lisa said something about California and at the next turn I hit the wiper lever. A truly Pavlovian reflex.
Our big adventure today was dinner at a little fish restaurant. We were invited by our friends Cornilus and Anoi. They told us it was the best fish in town so we went for it. We got there a little early and checked out the set up. In the very front, right by the sidewalk, was what can best be called a multi-rotissorie table with about 6 or 8 fish slowly turning over hot coals. They only serve Tub Tim (the correct spelling) and they have different sizes depending on your appetite. Our friends had ordered in advance and when we finally sat down we were given two small bowls containing sauces, a basket of fresh salad greens and herbs, and a plate of rice noodles. Then came the fish. Two giant Tub Tim were placed on the table, one for each couple and we learned how to take off the skin. The fish was very tender and tasty. We had lots to talk about since we hadn't seen them for awhile. The owners name is Pok and they told us he always has a big smile on his face. We will probably be ordering fish-to-go when Boot goes on vacation later this month.
Tonight was Cat's first session with a math tutor in Bangkok. They used Skype and it appears to be going well. She actually found this teacher on her own and will be getting help with Algebra and Geometry three times a week. We've also learned that there is a general math course that all students take, and a college prep course that includes the subjects she's getting help with. If you think that's hard, she has three English teachers and each of them gives tests. We are in awe at her determination and perseverance.
Have a Thrilling Thursday.
Peace,
Danny
