A trip to Washington DC

Last weekend, Irma, our daughter Kimberly and I went to Washington DC for a friends wedding.   Irma and I both graduated from Howard University in Washington DC and we lived in the area for years.   Irma visits the city for work often, but I haven’t been to DC in almost 10 years.   It was good to get back and see old friends.   I was able to hang out with my roommate from college who still lives there.  That was a lot of fun.   I wanted to share some of the pictures we took while wal

Early Garden pics

Today was a very nice day here in Chicago and Irma spent the time working in her garden.   I decided to spend my time taking it easy in the sunshine and doing as little work as possible.  LOL!!    But I did help her with a few small things, you know, man things like pulling weeds and well, not much else.  But I was there if she needed me.  ;-)   While taking a break from all the hard work I was doing, I decided to take some pictures of the early flowers in the garden.  I hope you enjoy them.

more event pictures

And now for more pictures for the dinner and some pics from the club.   Some of the club pictures were too hot for the general public, so I have to keep those in a safe place!  LOL!!!!I was a dancing fool at the club, but that was because the ladies would not give me a break.  I wanted to stop, I really did!!!!  LOL!   And thanks for the new dance moves Aom!   But I have to say, the highlight of my evening was when I was able to get Neung to "bounce" with me!  The next step is the dance floor my

My event tonight

Just wanted to give a little bit more information for my event this evening.Khrua Nai Baan is located on Langsuan Road, very close to Sarasin Road and Lumphini Park.  The nearest Sky Train station is Chidlom.  You would exit opposite Central Chidlom mall.   It is a long walk, so it might be easier to take a 2 minute taxi ride.  :-)The reservation is for 8:00 and we will probably get there a little bit before that.I should tell you in advance that I like to laugh and joke alot, so this is DEFINIT

San Juan Puerto Rico #1

About 1.5 weeks ago I took a trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico for a few days of relaxation.  I wanted to share a few pictures from the trip and talk about the island in general.  San Juan is a US Territory.  So it’s not officially a state of the US, but we are responsible for it.  For hundreds of years the island nation belonged to Spain.  It was taken from Spain by the US in Spanish/American war of 1898.  The primary language is Spanish, but I learned after being there, that English is taught at

a little snow for you

So last night it decided to snow a little bit here.  Since I have talk to so many friends in Thailand that have never seen snow, I thought I would share some pictures.One was taken last night, the others were during the day today.This picture is facing our street.  It's always very quiet after the snow starts.Late in the morning the next day, the sky is still gray.  The sun is hiding.  :-)But even on a gray and cold day, there are is still beauty to be found.I like this picture.  So much snow, b

Need suggestions

I just called Elefin's Cafe and they already have a large group booked for the 29th.  So now I need suggestions for a place to go before heading to the Big Mango.I don't have any ideas at all, so I am open to all suggestions.I would prefer someplace that is not a bar, because I know everyone doesn't like that environment. I apologize in advance for the change in plans.  I abolutely look forward to seeing members on the 29th. Oh, and if I don't answer right away, remember that it's night time o

Thailands first medal!

Congratulations to Prapawadee Jaroenrattanatarakoon for winnning Thailand's first medal in the 2008 olympics.  It's amazing to me that such a tiny woman can lift SO MUCH weight!   Wow!!!!!!I read her story and she comes from a very humble family.  Also she has worked through serious injury last year in order to make it to Beijing.

Long Beach, California

This weekend I took a quick trip to Long Beach to visit my sister who lives there.This was my first non business trip to California, so I could bring the camera with me and take a few photos.The interesting thing about the weather there is that every morning starts cloudy and looking like it will rain any minute.  But it doesn't rain and by 10:00 everything is beautiful and sunny.My hotel was located near the Queen Mary Cruise ship, which first began operating in 1936 and is permanently retire i

What do you think about these pictures?

After being inspired by the awesome photography of SmilySiam and lonelylove, I decide to go outside today and take some pictures in our yard.  This was the first time I used a polarizer filter.Here are pictures of some of my wife's flowers.  I was also really lucky that a bird came by to take a bath in our waterfall while I was outside. Let me know what you think.

how to contact people

Ok, journal entry number 2. And of course I have more questions. LOL!!! I have been on the board for a few days and have seen many people I would like to talk with more. What's the best way to do that? I don't think sending messages is a very good way. Is it ok to ask people for their messenger ID or for their email addresses? Or is it better to send testimonials? And what exactly is a testimonial? LOL! Do people like to get them? Once again, thanks for the help! : - )

what to do with journal

So i'm new here and trying to figure out the purpose of the journal. Is this the easiest way to talk to people on the board? Do people use it to vent or just to say hello?
