Wise

Hi,

Cloudy morning, sunny afternoon, cool evening equals Chiang Rai weather. We spent the morning running around town preparing for a party. The show just started across the river, and behind our house, loud explosions continue. Oh my.

The 'Easy Monday' song was "I Feel Good" by James Brown. For '81 Wednesday' here's a song you may remember:
"Her hair is Harlow gold, her lips sweet surprise. Her hands are never cold, she's got __ __ __." Clue: This song makes reference in the title to a special feature of a movie star as a way of describing someone. Hmm, who could it be? What could it be?

Some of our friends from The Sold Project are back in Thailand so we're having a little party at our house this evening. Our guest will arrive in about 45 minutes and that explains why you're getting this so early. It would be rude of me to duck out of the festivities to ponder my laptop. (555)

This morning we had a list and a plan. First stop was the vet's for a prescription refill for BamBam. Then it was off to the downtown market for dessert treats. On the way to the treats there was a shoe stop, and on the way out we bought two packs of balloon/lanterns. All along the main aisle of the market, vendors were selling fireworks along side their usual products. Some just make noise, many send colors into the air. The place where we bought our lanterns had over 50 different kinds of fireworks. The things we got are large paper tubes with something like Sterno at one end. The other end is closed. When the little ring of burnable material creates enough hot air inside, the whole thing lifts into the air and travels for as long as the fire burns. They usually will fly off until you can't see them anymore. It is an amazing sight to see hundreds of these glowing orange objects floating upward. Tomorrow night we will witness streams rising from various villages along the horizon. It never gets old.

We left the market and went to the pharmacy, the pet supply store, and then the fruit market. When we got back home we had our vegetable drink and went back out for more stuff. At Big C we had lunch and then shopped for a few more necessities. On the way home we stopped and got bread and hung out with Jonathan the dog. One more stop and I was ready for a nap.

We're expecting about 16 people for this little gathering. That means it will probably be an inside/outside thing. I won't put on any music because it will be booming from the fairgrounds. Time for food and fun conversation.

It's time for Wacky Wednesday.

Peace,
Danny
