Guide

Hi,

We traveled back to Altadena yesterday to have a final visit with my Mom, managed to take a nap, and had a fun family dinner with Jeff, Anna and August. It was what I'd call an easy day.

The 'Easy Monday' song was "I Feel Fine" by The Beatles. See, it really was easy. It's time to take a look at another 'Song of '75'. "__ __ __, I want to be your partner. Can't you see the music is just starting? Night is falling, and I am calling, __ __ __." Hint: It's by a group named after the older version of a city in the south. The song is an invitation.

We had to say goodbye to C-Bass early in the morning because he left for a 'Senior Camp' with his classmates and won't be back 'til after we've gone. We'll miss him, but there will be communication through Skype.

We hit the freeway right after the morning rush, but ran into heavy traffic on the way to my Mom's house. Seems that the morning rush lasts longer than I remembered. I cleared up a few things on her computer and helped her upgrade some software. Lisa showed her our email messages from Boot and she got a kick out of them. We recapped the trip and told her about some of our adventures.

Our list is getting smaller since we managed to find what resembles 'fly paper' at a hardware store in Pasadena. It's something we couldn't find in Thailand, at least not in Chiang Rai, and we needed something to deal with tiny little gnats that find their way to our house.

The evening meal was a delicious chicken dinner that Anna cooked. While we were eating Anna told us about a comedian that they really enjoyed. Later we watched the show and I haven't laughed that hard in days.

One more night in Culver City and then it's off to Thailand on Thursday evening. We realized today that we will have to get back in shape for the stairs at our house. We've been living on one level for three weeks. It happens every trip, but this time we thought about it.

The news from home is that Lisa will be having an art exhibit in Chiang Mai that may be opening on February 25. This is exciting since it will be the first 'road trip' for her cast acrylic prints.

I suppose our next adventure will be the packing of the bags. If we start today and pace ourselves it should be pretty easy. (laughs to self)

Feels like a Wacky Wednesday.

Peace,
Danny
