Bloom

Hi,

Another hot, dirty air day in Chiang Rai.  We keep seeing crazy forecasts calling for showers.  It takes rain clouds to make showers and the sky is clear, except for the smoke.

“(Let me tell you now)  I took her home, to my place, watchin’ every move on her face.  She said, ‘Look, what’s your game?  Are you tryin’ to put me to shame?’  I said, ‘Slow, don’t go so fast, don’t you think that love can last?’  She said, ‘Love, Lord above, now you’re tryin’ to trick me in love.’  __ __ __, baby it’s __ __ __.  __ __ __, baby, it’s __ __ __.”  Clue:  When something costs nothing, it is __.  That’s the name of the group.  Title is three words basically saying ‘Everything is cool’.

In some ways, this week feels physically, like the first week on the herbal drink.  Yesterday was a little odd, today felt kinda jet laggy, if there is such a term.  We stayed inside until time to take JaiDee for his evening walk.

All of the preparations have been checked on the list for the exhibition in Bangkok next month.  Yesterday we made contact through our friend Chalit, with Khun Todd, who will make the crate that will carry the work to the gallery.  We have to take the artwork to him next week and leave final instructions.  There are so many little things to remember to deal with when traveling to another city, even for a short time.  This weekend we go to Chiang Mai on Friday for the Thailand Regional Convention with my Recovery family.  Time to start digging into the wardrobe for a couple of casual chic outfits (555) for the evening events.  

Today’s photo is our boy JaiDee, looking all cute and innocent with a coconut from one of our trees.  

It was a difficult day for the humans in JaiDee World.  They had trouble maintaining order several times, and the evening was a challenge.  In the yard, he has decided that it’s OK to tear leaves and branches from the small trees. It is also permissible to eat dirt and pull roots.  On the walk, he has become obsessed with the football game that goes on every evening.  The sound of the ball being kicked sets him off and the tugging begins.  If someone says ‘Hi’, he considers them a friend who needs to be greeted properly.  More tugging on the leash.  Sometimes he just takes off, leash still attached to Lisa.  Not OK.  Back at the house, as we began the front yard running, he spotted a little cat just as Lisa was sending it away.  JaiDee tore off after the cat, disappearing into the darkness.  After the running, he did another leash lunge and was set free temporarily.  The boy was out of control.  Back to the top and start again.  

Have a Happy Tuesday.

                      Peace,

                                Danny
