Yes. You need to support each other.

It might rain today or tomorrow in Udon Thani. Next Sunday they may have thunderstorms in time for Songkran. Last year it went over 40°... hopefully not this year. Very hot at night though; it's definitely summer in Isaan.

I'm glad you are doing well.

In response to "Stories from the Village"

We don't know the stories tucked into the pages of an unopened book. Slowly... we learn them. Pan has stories about his family and growing up that he has only eluded to. I suspect they are the source of much pain.

In response to "The Fox in the Henhouse"

I could've predicted it. Not the details... but a dictator with no empathy? That was a foreseen disaster.

Learn Mandarin.

Let's hope the worst doesn't really happen. It's not the US that will suffer. It's the whole world (except those with lots and lots of money).

In response to "Life in the Slow Lane"

One day at a time ... in the present ... more peaceful.

Selling your big bike may be interesting as I haven't seen Thais riding them. Perhaps another ex-pat would appreciate it though.

I was there for Songkran last year. I can see why it's a popular festival. April is a difficult month until the rains start up.

In response to "Isaan Part II...The Reality of Rural Life in Thailand"

I should visit Suwannaphum but being smaller than Roi Et I doubt that it's as advanced. They have some old ruins and there's a place I could stay.

I hope to get back to Roi Et whenever I return.

In response to "This Boring Life"

You'll be in bed soon. It's 23:49. (9 a.m. here; cold, cloudy)

I would try to be up by 8 a.m. in Udon Thani as I exercised in the morning and it usually was "warm" by 10.

I would watch TV at 20:30 and go to bed whenever.

Boring? Yes.

I would walk through the neighborhoods and sometimes take notes or photos. I noticed the small things.

In response to "Three Out of Five Ain't Bad"

I... haven't gone back and rated the places I stayed. But... mixed reviews. I'd gladly stay in the same place in Khon Kaen and Phimai again. I'd consider the place in Korat. I would rather not stay in either place in Mukdahan.

Honesty is important in relationships, as is communication. That said, you've crossed a few lines in Thailand. Culture is only one of them. Personally, I crossed more than a few...

In response to "Life Imitating Art"

Two very different worlds.

I used white chalk sticks against the ants. Mosquitoes?

Bang Saphan is a ways south of where I want to visit. Quieter than Hua Hin? Have fun!

Creative Writing Is More Fun Than Blogging

I've been writing a lot, so the blog is suffering somewhat. There are only so many hours in a day, and by the time I train, which is numero uno in my recovery, write creatively, answer emails, eat and sleep, there isn't a whole lot of time left for blogging.

I can report that life is good. I feel healthy, with only the occasional pangs of want to use drugs. These cravings pass quickly, and I have come to terms with the fact that they will likely always be there at certain times. I know that if I delay for only a short while, they disappear, and I can then get on with this normality I have come to enjoy so much.

What else can I say...I have a lot to look forward to and barring any unforeseen circumstances that are out of my control, I am on the right track to live a long and happy life.

If you want a short read on what I wrote today, here is the link "Conspiracy Theories of the Third Kind"

enjoy.
