Seeing as it is Thanksgiving day, I figured I would take the time to reflect on this past year(s) and give you 10 things I am thankful for. Now any good Thanksgiving list could easily be pages long, but I’ll keep it to 10 things. Mostly because 30% of you reading this probably won’t even [...]
______________________________________________________ Remember the last time we had a snake in our house and Sara ran around the house like a scared 7 year old? Well that was more snake experience than we ever really wanted to have. I mean, I’m not scared of snakes. I just don’t like them. They creep me out. Not to [...]
…it never ends. I have to admit. I’ve closed my eyes on more than one occasion while reading people’s posts to Facebook about the first snow, frost on their cars in the morning, and the final yard mowing of the year. Coming from the Midwest in the US, I grew up enjoying 4 distinct seasons [...]

I’ve also spent quite a bit of time reading about Buddhism and religion in Asia in preparation for our coming to Thailand. We are [...]
I recently posted the Twitter / Facebook message above in hopes to find an answer to an issue I’ve been having since moving into our new place here in Bangkok. I literally spend 5 minutes in the shower or helping do the dishes and my hands wind up looking like I just swam a triathlon [...]
August 12th of every year is a National Holiday here in Thailand as the Thai people celebrate H.M. the Queen’s birthday. This same day is also the day in which the Thai people celebrate Mother’s Day as they view Queen Sirikit to be the Mother of the Thai Nation. For the past few weeks we [...]
