Hi,
The weather was fairly dry on our side of the river today. We seem to be fully recovered from our fast, and back into the swing of things.
This week's 'Zany Day' song was "Life's Been Good" by Joe Walsh. Maybe you'll do better with some 'Old School Friday'. "Old man rhythm is in my shoes. No use sittin' and singin' the blues. So be my guest, you got nothin' to lose. Won't you let me take you on a __ __? Ooh wee, ooh wee baby, ooh wee, ooh wee baby...." Clue: It's gonna take a body of water and a boat to pull this off. Cool Points if you can tell me who had the first hit in '59. Extra Points if you know who wrote it.
This morning the yard crew showed up. This time Khun Kek brought them instead of his wife. He is the man who made the original landscape design, but he's been away on resort projects. It was good to see him again. He had his spray guy do the lawns with what we think is a tick specific compound. Here's hoping it works. When I went out in the afternoon to check out the yard, there was a big rooster walking around in a shaded area. Now that was a real surprise. It belonged to Kek and it's like a pet. He rode over in Kek's pick-up truck and was just hanging out.
That merits the photo of the day spot.
This evening we had dinner at Black Canyon with our good friends Sutheera and Nukoon. We hadn't seen them for some time and it was good to get together. We learned that the earthquake and its aftershocks have had a negative effect on real estate in the area. It will take time for that to fade from people's memories. We used to eat at Black Canyon a lot when it was at Big C. Since it's been in the mall, there have been more choices, so we don't go there as much. Even though the staff has changed, the chef spotted us and came out to say hello.
Friday night is the big night in Chiang Rai, and the mall is one of the places people go to just unwind. Tonight, as we strolled through the mall we stopped and talked with an artist friend and his wife. It was another reunion since we haven't seen them for months. More of that small town flavor that I like.
Tomorrow night we will go to Art Bridge for the opening of the "Small Paintings" exhibit. About 170 of the member artists each painted on a 12" x 12" canvas. The work covers a range of styles and subjects. The opening will be less formal than usual, but it will be a chance to see many of our friends in the art community. It's amazing what can be done on such a small canvas. If you go to the link below, you can see some of the work that will be in the exhibit.
Have a Wonderful WeekEnd. Time for the 'Funnies'.
Peace,
Danny
