R & R

Hi y'all. I am back in BKK. Today is Wednesday and I have to admit my head still feels a lot like cotton balls. I will stay on the sleeping pills to try and sync up with Deeds. She was pretty happy to see me if you didn't get that drift from her post! Hehehe, it does feel good to be loved. But enough about all that stuff. I am sure that is not why you are all tuning in here.
You are looking for adventure. I know it, I can feel it through your eyes as you read on trying to find those bits of difference in lives and approaches. Well we will try to serve that up.

Right now though I am into a little R&R as the title says. I need to relax. Man oh man, Christmas and all that travel and stuff can just wear a person out. I need to get some sun as well. And a little golf wouldn't hurt. That three week break came real close to messin up my control of nothing. It's like trying to grab smoke. Just when you think you have it captured it's gone, you're busy and all anxious and stuff. Need to chill.

While I was at home I accomplished everything I needed to. LA Music -- now history. Ordered Lena's piano case from Long and McQuade. As I had expected they were awesome. Great service over the phone and all went off without a hitch. (Now let's hope they deliver the goods!!
Did some talking with the other perverbial battle of my life > Rogers Commuunications. My apologies to brother Beave who works for them. Great employer and Canadian success story, however they can be the bain of your existence. This time around I met a helpful and cheerful lady named Stephanie who referred to me as a customer with words like "loyalty and persistence" as she browsed my file. Yeah she did good by me and it is only one experience like that and you give an organization another chance.
I had a great experience with the old Lexus as well. I was very concerned about being able to put plates on. Care is over ten years old, 188K klics and a leaky catalytic converter(s). At about $400 per you don't want to replace these if you don't have to. Well I don't so all is good for two more years, or at least for the 8 months when we return.
One item I was in search of was a converter so that I could play NHL Game Center Live games on the big screen we have here in BKK. Picked up a little gizmo at Tiger Direct.
Why didn't someone tell me that the USA and Canada are the only jurisdictions in the world that use NTSC coding. The rest of the world uses PAL. And I am in the rest of the world now so off I go now looking for a converter to attach to my converter so I can get a signal that the tv here recognizes.
You cannot bring anything from North America to any other part of the world. Unbelievable!
Who is it that is so bone headed to have two different standards like that?

Shopping for house supplies and food is the afternoon task, hopefully golf tomorrow. I did get out to PGA Family golf in Oakville to hit some balls last Friday with Greg. Hard to fathom freezin your nads off one day hitting balls and then walking with shorts four days later. Small world.
Good talkin to you. Stay happy.
