Hi,

Back from a mellow weekend.   Two trips to Central Plaza, a picnic sighting, and doggie adventures are on the menu today.

The 'Old School Friday' tune was "Wonderful World" by Sam Cooke.  Time for an 'Easy Monday' offering:

"__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __?  Pick up on one and leave the other behind.  It's not often easy, and not often kind.  

__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __?  Hint: The song is asking a musical question about decision-making.  Part of the band's name is a table utensil.  Hmm.

Saturday morning the dogs got a brief workout since the air is not so good.  They seem happy as long as they get to go out and there is a ball involved.  BamBam runs and rests, Daku runs a little and is happy to catch the ball on a high bounce.  It doesn't mean that they're not full of energy when they come inside, but they do calm down.  Dogs might have better sense than some people I see on the street, jogging or riding their racing bikes in this air.  Hmm.

Chiang Rai now has an iService Center for Apple products at Central Plaza.  It's something that had to come eventually.  My laptop is in need of a new battery and we started the ordering process.  The most important thing about having the center in town is that they don't have to send the computer away for repairs.  I got a call in the afternoon requesting my serial number and they gave me the cost.  I took them a deposit and now I am waiting for the battery to come.  

On my return trip to Central Plaza  I saw a family sitting in the bed of their pick-up, having a picnic.  They had a bucket of KFC, items from other shops and some Thai food and were having a grand time.  It was what one might call a 'compromise', eating at the mall, but not eating 'in' the mall.

Today the process of hanging art began at Art Bridge.  All of the members will have one piece on display for the opening.  This will be quite an event in itself, having such a variety of work from so many artists in one place.  I can hardly wait.

And finally, our Godson August turned 13 this weekend.  It seems like such a short time ago that Mr. August was counting the plugs in our house, asking questions about everything that plugged into anything and making us smile.  Now he's DJ August, and the tech specialist at his house.  Amazing.

Have a Great Week.

                       Peace,

                                  Danny
