 Hi,

We woke up to another beautiful day.  The mornings are cool, but soon give way to the daily heat.  The rest of the week should cool down to the mid-80’s.  Hmm.  Rain might happen overnight.

This week’s ‘Easy Monday’ song was “Here, There, and Everywhere” by The Beatles.  Our ‘Jazzy Wednesday’ tune is by a famous writing pair, as sung by the Queen of Jazz (my words):  “I’m wild again, beguiled again, a simpering, whimpering child again.  __, __, __ __ am I.  Couldn’t sleep, and wouldn’t sleep when love came and told me I shouldn’t sleep.  __, __, __ __ am I.  Hint:  Three words that begin with the letter ‘B’.

This morning we went to The Wanderer by ourselves.  Yes, we’ve been given permission by our keeper to take little unsupervised excursions.  The preparations to reopen the ‘big room’ are almost complete.  It has been closed since the beginning of the pandemic, in an effort to downsize.  This Saturday they will present a small concert to mark the occasion.  Just like ‘old’ times.

In fairly local news, authorities have increased their testing of truck drivers attempting to cross the border between Myanmar (Burma) and Thailand.  There have been cases discovered, so now the tracing begins.  The search for those who have been in contact with positive patients is like a manhunt, with some serious consequences on the line.  We grateful that they are being this vigilant about the whole thing.

Today’s photo was taken Monday night atop the Riverie Hotel.  This is the same walking track after the sunset and the lights came on.  That glowy image off in the distance is the giant statue of Quan Yin.

We had another session in the pool today and it just keeps getting better.  After some physical therapy by Lisa yesterday, I’m able to swim with no pain in my knee.  Coupled with the increasing stamina, I’ll be ready for the Olympics in 2040-something (555).  Tomorrow Khun Jin is coming to give us all an overdue massage.  

It feels like a Wacky Wednesday.

                            Peace,

                                      Danny
