Friday Funnies

Hi,

I know it’s getting monotonous, but the weather is in a rut.  The air is also staying in the same ‘zone’, meaning unhealthy.  

The ‘Zany Day’ song was “Mickey” by Toni Basil.  Here’s an ‘Old School Friday’ that will take you back:  “__-__-__, oh, that’s how elementary it’s gonna be.  C’mon, let’s fall in love, it’s easy (it’s so easy), like takin’ candy (like takin’ candy) from a baby.  A-B-C (A-B-C) fallin’ in love with you was easy for me (easy for me) and you can do it, too, it’s easy….”  Hint:  It’s all about the numbers.  

A few years ago it was a rare thing to hear a helicopter flying by.  Usually, it was a military chopper going from the army base near us on a run to the border at Mae Sai.  Now it seems like it’s an every day thing.  Also, they fly very low, which is a little creepy.  There aren’t many tall buildings in Chiang Rai so it’s understandable that they would stay low, especially if they were looking for someone.  

This morning I stayed home while Lisa went to Big C.  It’s not a place to go if walking causes discomfort, which is what I was going through.  It got better, but still waiting for the acupuncture to take effect.

This afternoon we had ‘coffee’ with our friends Brenda and Eric.  We’ve known them for almost 7 years.  Eric found ‘Blue’s Tree’ that lives in our front yard.  It has been months since we’d seen them, so it was good to catch up and fill in the blanks, so to speak.  We hung out for about 90 minutes at The Wanderer, a nice way to spend the afternoon. 

When we returned, there was a package waiting for me.  It was a semi-belated birthday present from the little family.  Natcha had gotten me a phone case but it was for a different model.  Today I got the real deal and I love it.  Taken sometime in the late 70’s.

The weekend is looking busy.  Saturday evening we’re going to an ArtBridge opening for a friend. We’ve known him and his wife for about 11 years.  He will be showing in the main, downstairs gallery.  Not an easy feat for an expat.  Sunday we’re having lunch with another artist and his wife at The Wanderer.  It feels like a weekend of reconnecting with old friends.

Have a Wonderful WeekEnd.          Time for the ‘Funnies’.

                          Peace,
