Plunge

Hi,
Today was another busy, relaxed, adventurous day in The Land of Smiles. How could it be all those things, you ask? Easy, if you pace yourself. I'll explain in a minute.
But first, I must tip my hat to all those of you wrote to me about the song on the first day. That's the kind of response I like. Knowing.
"Father, father, we don´t need to escalate War is not the answer For only love can conquer hate You know we´ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin´ here today..." Not much more to say about this tune...it's a classic and you should know it.
This morning we took our time getting into the day. Boot was arriving late so we just lazed around, read mail and made a few calls. We had to provide our own lunch so we set out for Big C to eat at Black Canyon Coffee. Lunch was not as good as usual, but enough. Then it was upstairs, where I took a deep breath and attempted to communicate with my 'eye' connection about making some custom reading glasses. I actually got through and after trying various lens combinations, I'll have glasses that don't make me feel like my head is twisting. (5) While I did that, Lisa tackled Big C's market with great success.
Are you keeping up? So far we've relaxed, done 'busy', and had adventure. But wait, there's more. We had to take the groceries home and were surprised to find Boot was there. We chilled, she made us some coffee and then we all went over to The Place. We walked around and inspected the cleaning and paint touch-ups and pointed out what needed attention. More plants and trees are in the ground and the waterfall has been treated to look like it's covered with moss. Far out. Apparently there are going to be some plants involved, but we're not sure just how.
We left The Place and went out on the highway looking for a few pieces of small furniture. We stopped at a store that had what we were looking for and it turned out that a friend of Boot's worked there. She knows people all over Chiang Rai, from the days when she worked in the big market downtown. We hit a second store and got a nice little entertainment center for Boot's T.V. and headed back to the site to drop off our purchaces. Our new stuff worked just fine and we headed back to (rental) home.
So, there was more busy adventure, with lots of relaxation at the end of the day. Pacing is especially important when you consider how hot and humid it's been. All a part of the day.
Have a Cool Day.

Peace,
Danny

"Be not the slave of your own past
plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep,
and swim fast, so you shall come back
with self-respect, with new power,
with an advanced experience,
that shall explain and overlook the old."
