Hi,
The weather in Chiang Rai was a mixed bag over the weekend. Saturday morning it began to rain in the late morning and by late afternoon there was a beautiful sky. Over the weekend we had several meetings, a play date, and a farewell dinner.
That 'Old School Friday' song seemed to slip by most of you. It was The Drifters singing "Up On The Roof". The time has come for another episode of 'Easy Monday'. This 'Easy' one is from 1984 so a lot of you should be sending me messages. "I feel so unsure, as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor. As the music dies, something in your eyes, calls to mind a silver screen and all those sad goodbyes. I'm never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rhythm..." Clue: Title is in two words, making reference to something spoken in a breathy tone in close proximity.
Saturday morning we woke up to cloudy skies. Just after I picked Lisa up from an appointment the rain came hard. It was as if someone opened a giant faucet. When we reach our house it was just a drizzle. A little later it caught up with us and the yard got a good drenching. We ended up with an evening that must have made the Walking Street crowd very happy.
In the afternoon we had a meeting with our friend Natty and a friend of hers who is involved with tourism in Chiang Rai. We discussed marketing ideas for some T-shirt designs Lisa has drawn. It was a very productive meeting and more will be revealed in the future.
We had one more meeting in the downtown area and our day would be complete. We met with Martin, a graphic designer, who does the layouts for Lisa art exhibit invitations and catalogues. They worked on changes for the Bangkok exhibit.
Sunday morning we (the dogs) had a play date with Jago. He and Gary came over on their motorbike. The dogs had lots of fun running around and Jago is getting better at chasing the ball and bringing it back. Here's a pic of our biker friends.

In the evening we had a farewell dinner with our friend Shannon. She has been working with The Sold Project for 8 months here in Thailand and will be leaving this weekend. During dinner we learned that most of the project is now being handled by a local staff. Most of the Sold volunteers and workers that we've met leave with a desire to return. Amazing Thailand. We also learned about another program that is very important. It's called

Have a Great Week.
