Hi,
Today was a stay-at-home day. We watched the news a lot, packed up all the art work, and went for a swim. It was a good day.
I always know 'Easy Monday' is working right when I get lots of email. I'm sure some of you know it but your power is out (good excuse). Here's the second verse just in case you were busy: "Don't be angry, don't be sad. Don't sit crying talking good times you've had. Well there's a girl sitting right next to you, and she's just waiting for something to do.... And if you can't be with the one you love, __ __ __ __ __." Hint: Like the name says: 'Easy Monday'. You know this.
When we began our breakfast this morning we did something we hardly ever do, we turned on the TV and watched the news. CNN Asia carried the main feed about the storm all day, and we tried to watch the headlines at the top of each hour. As the storm approached we knew many of our friends were OK, but it looks like power is out for many of them now. It reminded us of this time last year when Bangkok and the surrounding areas were under water.
After an enthusiastic session with the dogs of chasing the ball, which includes running off with said ball, we went to work on the rest of the wrapping. We developed a real system to the whole thing and by late morning we were done.
This afternoon we packed the three crates with 30 cast acrylic prints. The shipping company will come in the morning and pick them up. We will fly to Bangkok on Thursday, hang the exhibit on Friday, and Saturday will be the opening. Today we were talking about how much preparation goes into opening of the show and then, two and a half hours later it's all over. The work will be on exhibit for a full month, but that first evening is the 'event'.
This morning, after the doggie play, we took pictures of our banana tree. It's grown quite a bit since we got it. Here are before and after photos so you can see what it looks like now. The 'baby' was planted on March 15, 2012 and the 'big' photo was taken October 30, 2012.
It will be awhile before we actually have any bananas, but it's a monster of a tree already. The 'babies' next to the main tree are growing fast and I'm hoping they can be transplanted. We may end up with a plantation (555). I would like to plant a mango tree since I'm fond of them.
Tomorrow we pack the bags and get ready for our Bangkok adventure. We also have to make a few lists of things we want to do while we're there. It's been some time since we had 'play time' in Bangkok. Hmm.
Have a Happy Tuesday.
Peace,
Danny
