Friday Funnies

Hi,

We had another beautiful day in Chiang Rai.  There was a thunderstorm, literally, and a light shower.  Otherwise, it was hot and sunny.  The California forecasts are for cooler weather than we’ve been having.  A break is definitely in order.  

The ‘Zany Day’ song was known by only one reader.  Michael T. knew it was “Junk Food Junkie” by Larry Groce.  ‘Old School Friday’ is next.

“When I became of age my mother called me to her side, she said, ‘Son, you’re growing up now, pretty soon you’ll take a bride.’  And then she said, ‘Just because you’ve become a young man now, there’s still some things that you don’t understand now.  Before you ask some girl for her hand now, keep your freedom for as long as you can now.’  My mama told me, ‘You better __ __,  oh yeah, you better __ __.”  Hint:  The title suggests looking for the best and not settling.  No cart necessary.

This was one of those days when we never left the compound.  It was nice to stay at home and ‘chill’.  The lists are getting shorter and thoughts of clothes to pack are entering my mind.  It just occurred to me that since we always go to Ross when we’re in the states, I could take less clothes and bring something back (555).  Actually, it happens anyway, but sometimes one needs a little change.  When Lisa brought one of the large suitcases into the bedroom this evening, Daku got a little agitated.  He knows what it’s for, and what it means.  

The Friday night party is going strong across the river.  We’re mostly hearing monotonous drums and that’s not OK.  One of these weeks we’re going to have to get brave and see what goes on over there.  We’ve known since our ‘early days’ here, that Friday is ‘going out’ night in Chiang Rai.  You can ride around town and see restaurants doing brisk business, food trucks with lines for treats, and the Night Bazaar full of strolling young people.  It’s one of the things we like about this town.  

I showed you a photo of a bag of eggs a few weeks ago.  Today’s photo is a guy making an ‘Egg Run’ on his motorbike.  Unbelievable.

Cat has been very busy these days.  In addition to school and extra classes, she has dance rehearsals three days a week.  The K-Dance class is going to participate in a contest in Chiang Mai the weekend after we return to Thailand.  The whole crew is going together and staying overnight.  She’s pretty excited about it, and is looking forward to the adventure.  There will also be a show in Chiang Rai at a later date.  

Have a Wonderful WeekEnd.        Stay for the ‘Funnies’.       Formula One from Austria this Sunday.  Zoom.

               Peace,

                         Danny
