A lot’s been happening…apprenticeship application mailed…trip to San Diego…presented at a conference…did my taxes… and got an unofficial “pink slip” at my day job dated June 30. And yes, I admit it…I’ve been hiding from my own website.

This afternoon, I’m flying to Bangkok. I’m going to Thailand to visit friends…I’ve wanted to go for years…so I’m going. 3 weeks. My pal Tex Menefee is gonna pick me up at BKK. She’s gonna show me around Bangkok for a few days and nights, and then we’re meeting Molly at the beach…then up North to see their everday lives in Chiang Mai and Mae Hon Song.

Right now, I’m looking forward to the plane ride. I do my best thinking in the window seat of a flying plane…maybe it’s that all my electronic devices are in their off-positions…maybe it’s just the decongestants I take before I board, but my head always seems so clear….staring out the window.
