Friday Funnies

 Hi,

The forecast actually said: “Your weather loop will continue for the next four days” (555), no it didn’t.  But that’s what’s happening.  The high will be 84 with a low of 63, for the next four days.  Hmm.

The ‘Jazzy Wednesday’ tune was “As Time Goes By” by Dooley Wilson from the film Casablanca. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d22CiKMPpaY 
‘Old School Friday’ is going back to it’s ‘roots’.  This one is from my youth, so you know it’s old (555).  “(Oh, oh, oh, oh, wah-ah-ah, oh, oh, oh, oh, __ __, __ __ will you be mine.  My darling dear, love you all the time.  I’m just a fool, a fool in love with you.”  Hint:  The singer is pledging his love for a planet-bound celestial being.  Group named after a bird that wears a tux.

Today we went back to a coffee place we haven’t been to in a long time.  Polar is in the other direction from our usual travels, and has a messy entry road, but the ambience is great.  We listened to the lady in the phone and her directions were good.  We avoided a bunch of ‘town’ driving, it was mostly on the new freeway.  It turned out that one of the staff used to work at Hungry Wolf and remembered us.  This is good because her English is pretty good and that always helps.  Besides having really good scones and chicken sausage, they play very cool music.  We found out that we can take JaiDee and sit outside.  He’s gonna love it.

While we were having coffee, our friend Dr. Intorn answered a message about whether Bangkok Hospital had an ear, nose and throat person.  They did, I pondered for a moment, and our next stop was BKK Hospital for a hearing check.  I’ve been missing things, sounds, words, etc. so it’s time to find out why.  The doctor was cool.  She got right to work, asking a couple of questions and then looking into both of my ears.  Then she mentioned that I was understanding what she had said to me, even while she had her mask on.  This was a sign to her, that it wasn’t too bad.  I need to get an audio test at another location and bring her the results.  So, might be middle or inner ear issues.  When she asked my age, she couldn’t believe it.  Neither can I, but that’s another story (555).  

While in the front yard this morning, Lisa captured the blooming of Blue’s tree.  It’s been very busy this year.


Tomorrow we’re having coffee and conversation with our friend Lisa in the morning.  In the late afternoon we’re going to a photo exhibit at Rai Mae Farluang, the big park/museum that’s all about trees and plants of the area.  We’ll probably see some friends and hopefully it won’t be too crowded.  If so, there’s plenty of open space to hang out in if necessary.  

In other news, most of you will remember The August Chronicles.  Well, Mr. August aka DJ August earned a place on the Dean’s List for the fall of 2020.  He’s majoring in Audio Engineering Technology.  So proud.

We’re feeling very fortunate that most people are observing the ‘no burning’ law, so the air is nice, for the most part.  South of us, in Chiang Mai, they’re having lots of fires on the hills and it’s affecting the air quality.  Oh, and we had a little rain this morning (sprinkles).  Life is good.

Have a Wonderful WeekEnd.      Time for the ‘Funnies’.

                           Peace,
                                     Danny
