Ten year plan...

Keeping up with this blog hasn't been so easy lately.  I'd say you haven't been missing much but maybe that's just a matter of perspective.  Certainly not to say much hasn't been happening.. just, well, days go by here and there and we all do what we do to get by - no matter where we are. 

Today.  23 August, 2011.  Made some students laugh while having a laugh myself.  Got to hear a few of them sing.  Angelic.  Played some football (what we call soccer in the states).  Our make-shift field was surrounded by centuries old ruins.  Noticed the sunset into those ancient bones of brick (kinda hard not to).   A good meal, phad ka pow gai kai dow (chicken, egg, rice, and mucho flavor).  A foot massage (which is never really just a foot massage) by unexpectedly two masseuses *while listening to Beach House (a regular in my rotation lately).   Enough space to paint, listen to music, and read my book.

Ask me what my ten year plan is - I've the faintest idea. 

What I do know is that today was a good day, and maybe, just maybe...that's all that really matters.

Time to make some time...

Been easily distracted lately but taking a minute or two to post since it's been a month since my last one.

So check this out - my friend Alex connected me with some of his friends in Laos that operate gallery space.  They're having a silent auction end of September to raise funds to protect hill tribe folks from rabies.  Considering my recent encounter with the little ol' soi dog - I thought it was a match made in heaven.   Looks like the art I've been working on won't need to be recycled into shingles...
