  • Gecko Peter Parker

    Last night, I was driving alone down the highway into a headwind and a small gecko suddenly appeared on the outside of the windshield, probably blown up through the bodywork from wherever he was chilling down below. Geckos are good to have in your car because they eat bugs and are just cool to watch,…

  • Spraying insecticide, again

    When I ventured out this morning to buy the kid’s breakfast, sticky rice and barbecued pork skewers (which have gone up in price universally to 5 baht per skewer — they were still 3 baht at some places up until a couple months ago), I drove though a fog hovering in the neighborhood behind ours.

  • What’s going on (May 2011 edition)

    So we went to Koh Samet for a few days with a bunch of my coworkers and some of their families. It was awesome, but I feel the need to write about what’s been happening around here before moving onto editing the trip photos and video. Max and Mina started school on May 18. Max…

  • Karelia / Alone in the Wilderness

    It was nice being able to sleep in a tent for a few nights this past year; I like camping and look forward to taking Max and Mina… There are a couple of nice outdoors themed links I’ve been wanting to post, so: Unforgettable Vacation In Karelia – Nice photo set from Finland or Russia,…

  • Night Beer Hiking in Downtown Chiang Mai

    Exactly one month ago, our family took a trip to Chiang Mai by way of daddy, Max, Mina, and the nanny hitching a ride with mommy on a business trip. Our driver was fast and polite, and since there are typically no seat belts in a Thai commuter van, we decided to leave the baby…
