By my calculations, we were now on day 7 of our exploration of temples in Bangkok, Thailand. It was time to look at something just a little different than a Thai...
So, it still was our sixth day in Bangkok, and we were at the historical Wat Suthat, the "Palace of Indra," which, however, barely acknowledged Indra and...
Moving the time forward, let it be Monday, our fifth day in Bangkok if my count is still accurate. The water in Bangkok was rising, but only slowly....
Moving ahead by a day, we are now on day 3 in Bangkok. It was Saturday morning, and I finally gave in to common sense and allowed Robin to take me to a local hospital....
Let's move on to our second day in Bangkok, a Friday. I should mention for the sake of future continuity that I was feeling pretty awful with serious laryngitis, which...
Late in the afternoon of our first day in Bangkok, still Thursday, Robin M. showed up, first to take us to dinner, but then also to lead us to a square not to far...
Above, you see a new addition to my on going collection under the heading of "Objects in Mirror may be Closer than they Appear." Speaking of the Dodge Dakota, since...

Well, this has been a ridiculously long trip. When Dr. W attempted to persuade me to retire, one of the big incentives she used to get me to see reason, keeping both...
Almost home! Actually, I feel as though the drive from Boston back home to Indiana has been going well. Still, we're taking it slowly, having to deal with jet lag as...

In 1981 or so, around age 32, I earned my senior life saving certificate, which I renewed 3 years later. It was something I had always wanted to do. I'm reminiscing about...
This is the case of the disappearing statue. Or rather, the case of the reappearing statue. In January of 1997, June and I walked up to the very top of Bright...
A quick, mostly pictorial, update from your itinerant and somewhat soggy bloggist. Actually, not so itinerant, but momentarily tied to this city. We've had to...

Trip Udate No. 3 and "Classifieds Sections" Friday, 10-13-2011 Greetings from Bangkok, Thailand. As before, I'm finding that trying to send out regular blog...
Second Trip Update. It's Tuesday evening. We're just a little north of Charlotte. As it turned out, after Sunday, neither Monday nor today were very...
First Trip Update. June and I are off to what eventually is going to look on the map like Paul's fourth missionary journey, though I'm merely speaking geographically,...
Well, Jimm just nailed the whole point of this set of entries with his comment. It's nice to get that kind of support. Still, I'll go on to explain. Please remember...
