Hi,
The weather today was typical for the rainy season. It was cloudy all morning with a heavy afternoon downpour, then a beautiful evening. One nice thing about the daily rain is the cleaning of the air. It’s been a relief not having that smokey smell around.
I got a few emails with the correct answer, but expected to hear from more of you. Here is the second verse:
“'Things are different today,’ I hear ev’ry mother say, cooking fresh food for a husband’s just a drag. So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak and goes running to the shelter for a __ __ __….” Clue: It’s by a very old R&R band. Oh my, is it a drug song? What?
This morning we went to Le Meridien on business. We had to send a fax to the States and there just aren’t many fax machines in use these days. Our friend Stephan helps us out since the hotel has to maintain a fax line. He’s going to be leaving Thailand and relocating to Australia. It’s an exciting opportunity for him, but we’ll be losing a friend. We’ll be visiting him and his wife Claire in September during the Formula One weekend. In our conversation we learned that Chiang Rai is way bigger than we thought. He told us the city population is between 6 and 800,000. So that’s why the streets seem more crowded. Hmm.
The big event today was Cat moving most of her stuff to her dorm apartment at the university. She and Gong filled the van with three suitcases and three large boxes, plus assorted bags. She still has a few more trips to make and I’m imagining there probably isn’t much room to walk around, but she’s doing it. It’s a big life change for her. Tomorrow morning she has to be on campus at 7am so she decided to spend the night in her dorm room. When Daku saw the suitcases stage by the door he got very agitated. Lisa and I assured him we were not leaving. When he figures out that Cat has left he will not be happy. He is in love with Cat and will most likely check on her room for a few days.
Back in 2006 Blue and his son Ming, who was still in high school, recorded a remix of Richard Berry’s “Louie Louie”. Ming did all the digital sampling and engineering from the original 45 RPM single. The two of them programmed the samples and added some keyboard parts. Blue just discovered that his remix had been chosen as the ‘Louie of the Week’ by a blog called “The Louie Report”, which is dedicated to the song. Here is a link to Youtube. Enjoy.
Today’s photo is the corn field next door. The rain really sped up the growth this time. We’re loving the green.
Have a Thrilling Thursday.
Peace,
Danny
