Welcome to Sunday Summary, the meme in which I attempt to summarize the week that came before. It has been a very wet week, culminating in most of Phuket Town being underwater as I write this. I spent most of my morning today wading through dirty water and my afternoon putting together and uploading a … Continue reading Sunday Summary #9

Sunday Summary #5
Welcome to Sunday Summary. This is a meme in which I attempt to summarize the week that came before. This was our last "teaching" week at school with a new topic ("Non-Living Things") and the last opportunity to review the children as best as we could for the upcoming final exams. I took my review … Continue reading Sunday Summary #5
Sunday Summary #1
Welcome to Sunday Summary. This is a meme in which I attempt to summarize the week that came before. It replaces previous series such as Sunday Salon, Daily Phuket and Phuket Weekly. Following a long period of relative inactivity, I find myself wanting to write more and more. While I maintained a private journal during … Continue reading Sunday Summary #1
Daily Phuket #89: 3 December 2021 – Birthday Sizzler
Today was my birthday as well as the start of a three- (maybe four-) holiday for me. (Is it really a holiday when all you have on any given workday is a single lesson with one or three cute kids?) The biggest change in turning another year older is that I can no longer laugh … Continue reading Daily Phuket #89: 3 December 2021 – Birthday Sizzler
My “Real” Thanksgiving Feast
As I was walking home from the bus stop after my hour-long class Thursday evening, I realized that it was American Thanksgiving back home. As I do most weeks, I stopped at the small open-air market and purchased a small portion of my frequent dinner -- two of my three favorite vendors were either not … Continue reading My “Real” Thanksgiving Feast
Daily Phuket #82: 17 November 2021 – A Rare McD’s Burger
Once again, I have let two weeks slide between blog entries. Perhaps I should call this series "Bi-Weekly Phuket"! I have taken a fair number of photos recently so this is my first attempt to clear the backlog. Before I explain today's image, let me try to bring things up-to-date as briefly as I can. … Continue reading Daily Phuket #82: 17 November 2021 – A Rare McD’s Burger
Daily Phuket #67: 05 August 2021 – A Sight for Sore Eyes!
After a rough day -- my five online classes were the EASY part -- I was starving! This was the second day that I'd skipped lunch to do data entry and my only dinner last night was some leftover noodles from the night before. I grabbed my tote-bag and high-tailed it towards the mini-mart for … Continue reading Daily Phuket #67: 05 August 2021 – A Sight for Sore Eyes!
A Good Ole Meandering Update Of Sorts
Since I copped-out on last month's "Not An Update", I feel a bit of an obligation to bring my few readers up-to-date on my activities during a month in which I never went anywhere at all. In many ways, April 2020 has seemed like the longest month ever. The upcoming month of May will be … Continue reading A Good Ole Meandering Update Of Sorts
Nineteen in ’20
Twenty-twenty thus far has been nineteen days of unstressed productivity and that looks to continue for the foreseeable future. I do not recall as being as organized as I have been since the New Year fireworks faded to silence and that certainly has helped with my overall positive attitude. I am happy and content and … Continue reading Nineteen in ’20
The Week That Was #2019-02
Wow! Posts two weeks in a row.... The week of January 7-13, 2019, was fairly active in my little world extending between my home in the heart of Old Town Phuket, Thailand, and a bit west to my office in the bowels of the Central Festival mall smack dab in the center of the island … Continue reading The Week That Was #2019-02
