Power

Hi,

The air was very hot and humid today.  Tonight, as we ended our walk, the rain began and it’s still coming down.  Giant thunder is the soundtrack of the night.  

A few of you remembered this wonderful tune about an international playboy.  “Coast to coast, L.A. to Chicago, western male.  Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.  Face-to-face, each classic case.  We shadow box and double cross, yet need the chase.  A license to love, insurance to hold,  melts all your memories and change into gold.  His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold.  No need to ask, he’s a __ __, __ __, __ __, __ __.”  Clue:

Think __ as silk.  If you get the first word, the rest should be easy.

This morning Khwan and Mercy came over for the doggie play-date.  JaiDee was excited before they even got out of their truck.  The dogs got along great, taking turns leading each other around the yard, exploring and racing around.  This was the playmate JaiDee has wanted for almost a year.  Mercy had to set JaiDee straight a few times, letting him know when to back off, etc.  They each did a little independent exploring, but mostly cruised the yard together.  They’ll be coming back next Wednesday for another episode.  

Today’s photo is two happy dogs after their morning of fun.

Tomorrow is a big day in Thailand.  Schools will open again and we know one little four year old who can hardly wait.  Nitchanan is very excited to be going back to school.  And then there are all the teachers who are going back to school.  It will be Cat’s first day as a real teacher, using her own lesson plans and being ‘in charge’ of a room of 7th graders.  We wish her well.

This afternoon we went to Bangkok Hospital where I had my last physical therapy treatment.  Before I started, I could not walk around the track with Lisa and JaiDee.  Now, I can do a whole lap, which is about 20 minutes, and not be in pain.  From here, I can slowly increase my time for a more aerobic exercise.  

Have a Happy Tuesday.     Follow the science, wear a mask.  The life you save could be someone else’s.

                        Peace,

                                  Danny
