My son lived in Ching Mai for several years and makes good Thai and also 
knows where the good places to eat are.  He speaks Thai and it always 
startles the waiters when he starts ordering in Thai.  He lives in LA and 
he and his wife have very good jobs, she as procurement in a Hollywood 
production company and he an a product specialist in an ad agency.  With no 
kids they have the money and time to travel and eat out in all sorts of 
interesting places.

Ah, yes, it's always a treat to watch the startled waiter when the
white guy orders in Thai. My friend learned Thai over the years, and
now he and his wife have moved to Thailand where they're living large
on his retirment income. I have a standing invitation to come for a
visit, and I hope to but right now I'm having trouble making time to
get to Arkansas.

Gene, when do you return?
