A true best friend's birthday today. I know that from faceache. I don't recall meeting with him for forty years. We were childhood, youth friends. No not the barrister, although I have not met him in twenty years , but we regularly write to each other on e mail.
The thing that jolted me, that I share with you dear readers, is the names wishing him a happy birthday. Many I do not know, but some I do. We all lived together, intimate best describes it. I threw in a joke and instant response, they all knew my aside. Even first wife. We are not in contact, but she got it and replied via friend.I replied via friend too. Forty years of silence broken. Happy birthday to the friend that saved me, joined me with my wife and knew the heart break of what happened to us.

The joke, not a straight forward joke, an aside best describes it, but the responses were humorous.  And the black outlines the white, creates the circle. |

Friend posted a picture of a lavish room, all in purple. "Who could like that?". My reply, well not exactly my taste, but then my rooms have always taken some to make adjustments. Still the damask curtains resembling dried blood. White walls and the black. "Oh , you have not changed much,". I suspect (know) other ex wife read it. |

The waiter brought three tacos....of course I only wanted one....I don't want to lumber out of here like a balloon.
Also of course I want to leave space for the beer hehe.
I know where you can get cheap laminate flooring btw.

I know where you can get cheap laminate flooring btw. My floors are tiled. Not hard on the eye. Wife chose them. In fact she designed this house. I just tinker with the decor, but it is all traditional Thai, apart from the curtains. |

Elvis died 40 years ago - I ran down and told my pal Scott Brown. He wasn't bothered. I don't think I was either. I just wanted to run somewhere.  |

I'm now in lower Suk...in the ghetto.
I enjoy an amble down here from time to time....and of course any pub I go to next will be an improvement.
Clientele is surprisingly gentile as well...not a tattoo or shaved head in sight!

It ruined my life. Apparently, he was on the POTY too. Got a silver medal two tears in a row. Blamed me, apparently. |

Difference is, Elvis could sing. Not like someone I know - who the more he sings the quieter the pub gets. And when he gets a round of applause, it's the crowd clapping each others resilience in listening to him. "farang who look like Gollum, who told him he could sing?" "mai roo, whoever it was needs shot." "Why he live in Thailand ten year and cannot speak Thai?" "That's easy, that's cos he's thick. Same same Somchai that had the head accident." 'His head looks like it had an accident." "Chai." |
