I saw Pai Mei yesterday.
Or at least I thought I did. As he walked closer to my car, I saw he was actually an Indian Pai Mei with only one arm. Or maybe not. BTW, this is the official tune for Pai Mei spotting.

Flooding in Sarakham
Today we were hit by a sudden storm that dumped a whole lot of water on us, very quickly. This year’s weather has been very wet and relatively cool for Thailand, and it’s been raining almost every day. I’ve been very busy for a while now, and everybody in this house started getting sick from last week. First it was Mina, then mommy, and now Max – but daddy is too busy to get sick.

The sad fact is that the shop promised to be done in a month and a half and it’s been four and a half months with it still not quite done. On the upside, I won’t feel bad for getting it done so cheaply because promises are being made and broken on a weekly basis. I’m a simple guy. Don’t waste my time and you will be duly compensated. Fuck with me and I’ll make you suffer… Is this somehow on me? Did I ask for too much? No. The owner of the shop has some family issues…

First Day of School
This is from a few months ago, but I forgot to post it until now. Don’t worry, the little kids at Max’s school aren’t self conscious enough to care about having to wear fake tartan skirts/shorts. Max’s uniform schedule: Mon to Wed: Red tartans Thursday: Poorly sized yellow athletic outfit Friday: Blue tartans Mina’s nursery school has no uniforms, and sometimes she chooses what she wants to wear by herself.
