Dance

Hi,
How was your weekend? We've been having quite a time. Friday night we went to dinner with Nukhun, Gai and Blue. They took us to a Chinese spot that they love. We ate in a little air/con room in the rear. As expected, lots of food was ordered. Some of it we ate, some we just couldn't handle. Specifically, Duck Feet. Nukhun, being a jovial guy, plopped one on my plate. I immediately put it back on the platter. He totally understood and we all had a big laugh. Frankly, it was gross. Later they brought out chicken. We thought it was going to be some typical Chinese chicken dish. Wrong. It was basically deep-fried chicken skin with legs thrown in for good measure, plus the head. Oh my. More playfulness and more laughter. We tried the skin and a leg, but it was not taste I could get into. Before dinner, we went out to their house to see 'Grandma'. The house is set on a large piece of property with a man-made pond. A big pond, stocked with fish. Pretty amazing sight. We couldn't see the fish, so Nukhun brought out some fish food and all of a sudden the water was churning. Reminded me of the time I was on the Amazon, watching the Pirana. (Ha)
The song most of you didn't know was "Broken Wings" by Mr. Mister, from the mid 80s. Here's another from the same period. This line is from the middle of the song and I love the way the writer threw in such a non musical name.
"Mephistopheles is not your name, I know what you're up to just the same. I will listen hard to your intuition. You will see it come to it's fruition. __ __ __ __ __ __" Hint: If you can wrap you mind around this one, you're doing good.
Today Blue left for the States. We went with him to the airport, early, and after he boarded, we bought a ton of the treats we can only find there. Later in the morning we met another Supat. (fortunately, he goes by Pat, pronounced Pot) This is a man we met through Boot, to be out driver when we want to travel by car. (Tuk-Tuks can get a little tired) Very nice man who works for an insurance agency and offered to be our 'friend' and help us. He took us on some errands, waited, helped us buy a desk and then came to the house and waited for the delivery. We had some really interesting conversations with him. He's going to be a nice addition to our 'family'.
The weather was beautiful all day and then tonight it just dumped. The rain is supposed to be over at the end of the month, though I don't know how people can be so exact about a thing like that.
I'm posting more pictures on the Flickr site. There's some orchids and some random shots of Thailand. Enjoy.

Peace,
Danny
