Dancer

Hi,

We had another hot, hazy day in Chiang Rai.  

The ‘Easy Monday’ song was “All Right Now” by Free.  For our ‘Zany Day’ song we’ll go dancing at the club:

“Hey, once I was a boogie singer, playin’ in a rock-and-roll band.  I never had no problems burnin’ down the one-night stands.  And everything around me got to start to feelin’ so low. And I decided quickly, yes I did, to disco down and check out the show.  Yeah, they were dancin’ and singin’ and movin’ and groovin’, and just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted: ‘__ __ __ __, white boy.  __ __ __ __ right.  __ __ __ __, white boy.  Lay down that boogie and __ __ __ __ ’til you die.”  Hint:  Singer is being urged to perform a certain kind of music.  Should be easy.  It’s from 1976.

Before Natcha worked for us, she worked for a family that we knew here in Chiang Rai.  They went back to America and that left her available.  Today her friend and former employee came to the house to visit.  Natcha baked some of her delicious coconut cake, and some cookies for the reunion.  There were five guests plus us and we had a little dessert party.  It was great visiting and meeting new people that we’ll never see again, but that’s how it goes.  We had to leave early to meet Atom for a previous tea date.  Notice I didn’t say coffee date.  Coffee is off the menu for me in the afternoons, so we all had a honey-lemon tea at The Wanderer.

There is a device called a gentle leader that is used to get dogs to respond to commands when walking.  We brought one back from the States, but JaiDee didn’t like it so we loaned it to Kwan to try on Joey.  Apparently she had success with it.  Today we borrowed it back.  His behavior last night earned him another round with the device.  It’s similar to what is used on horses and is not painful in anyway, just annoying.  Tonight, after some practice tries this afternoon, Lisa and JaiDee went for their walk using the gentle leader and it worked like a charm.  JaiDee was a little gentleman and didn’t give Lisa a hard time at all.  

Living in Northern Thailand, we hear stories of those affected by travel restrictions as well as the business fall-out from the Corona virus.  I have a friend whose wife was not allowed to leave Viet Nam to come to Thailand for several weeks.  The travel restrictions have been lifted and he’s very happy.  Our convention this weekend has had many cancellations due to flights that had stopovers in various Chinese airports.  This has left people with no way to get here.  

Feels like a Wacky Wednesday.

                      Peace,

                                Danny
