Hi,
It's Tuesday night in Chiang Rai and we're in the middle of another thunderstorm. Wind, rain, lightning and thunder, the whole show. It started just about the time Boot was supposed to go home. She ended up waiting out the first wave. I offered her a jacket, which she refused (and I expected). We keep forgetting that she's been living through things like this all her life, and riding a motorbike in the rain is not a particularly big deal.
I had about three responses to the song. Today's portion is from the chorus, which will induce immediate memory recall. (Ha)
"The sailors say, __, you're a fine girl (You're a fine girl) What a good wife you would be (Such a fine girl) Yeah, your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea." Hint: See, you don't need any hints 'cause it all came back to you.
Since we didn't need anything from the stores that were closed, we stayed home. This afternoon I took all the Buddhas outside and washed them. Boot said, 'You act like Thai people'. She didn't realize that I learned it all from reading on the web. When Lisa explained how I knew so much about Songkran, she really laughed. It was one of those laughs of understanding. Now that she's experiencing the internet there are many references that mean something to her. It's nice to see her face light up in recognition.
Tonight Lisa is trolling through my iTunes archive and having a grand time. There are probably a couple of thousand files of various kinds of music. She's been using her Shuffle to listen to music, but has a Nano that has room for music. With the Nano, you can see what you're listening to and scroll to what you want. There's going to be a lot of scrolling.
Well, that's about it for today. The sound of the rain and the music are very distracting. (Ha) Hopefully the temps won't rocket up like predicted. Oh, and the roof got a second washing. All is well.
Have a Happy Tuesday.
Peace,
Danny
