Hi,
After a brief shower this morning, we had a very hot, sunny day. What? If it's like this tomorrow, the big dog gets a bath. (555)
We finally have an 'Easy Monday' tune that almost everybody knows. You may not have responded, but I know you know it. "We'll keep on spending sunny days this way. We're gonna talk and laugh our time away. I feel it comin' closer day by day. Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly __, on a Sunday afternoon. Really, couldn't get away too soon. Ah-ha-ha (x 3)..." Hint: The group that recorded this had an adjective in their name for a while. What was it and were they on this record? I'm all out of hints.
This morning, after Lisa's massage, we went to the Talat (market) to pick up some treats for our afternoon coffee date. We had another of those special encounters with 'Parking Guy', who does a cool little dance with his hands as he guides you into your space. From my rear-view mirror I watched his hands twirl around, change speed and then tap on the fender when he was happy with the position. He works hard all day, bringing a smile to parking a car. There are no meters, so he collects 4 Baht (about 14 cents). I doubt if he makes much money, but he puts everything into his work. Hmm.
On our way to Cornelus' house this afternoon we noticed that a pot-hole had been dug up. Now it's a giant hole in the middle of the road at a busy intersection. One just drives around and sighs. When we arrived at the house, two tiny little dogs came out to greet us. They weren't allowed in the house because they tend to be clingy, according to Cornelus. While the coffee was brewing we talked about house guests since he just had five unexpected visitors. It was light and fun. He showed us some little books that he makes and sells at his exhibits. They are small collections of pictures that he's placed in albums, with a theme. One was titled 'Violence & Religion', another was called 'The Story of Us' with pictures of people from around the world. In his studio he showed us his latest series of artwork. His partner, Ahnoy returned from a funeral of an uncle and had quite a story to tell. It seems that the man was 79 years old, had 53 wives through his life, and has 22 sons and 3 daughters. There are countless grand children. Ahnoy told us that he met relatives who live near him that he's seen for years and didn't know they were related.
Today's photo is the giant sculpture in front of Art Bridge, with the addition of some neon art. At night it definitely draws attention to the location.

Have a Happy Tuesday.
