Sunday Summary #27
Welcome to Sunday Summary, the meme in which I attempt to summarize the week that came before. The week started off with my hometown American football team, the Kansas City Chiefs, winning the Super Bowl championship game, ending the season that began last August. Their first Super Bowl win in 50 years occurred on the… Continue reading

Sunday Summary #21
Welcome to Sunday Summary, the meme in which I attempt to summarize the week that came before. This was a real “back to the real world” kind of week hampered by the fact that both Kan and I were quite ill up until late in the week. We both blame the overpowering air-conditioning in our… Continue reading

Sunday Summary #15
Welcome to Sunday Summary, the meme in which I attempt to summarize the week that came before. This was a relatively uneventful week with one major exception: my Lovely Lady is finally returning to Phuket after a prolonged flood-induced exile to the east of Thailand. Yet, as she readies her return to coincide with my… Continue reading

Sunday Summary #14
Welcome to Sunday Summary, the meme in which I attempt to summarize the week that came before. This mid-November week brought more rain, more flooding, to Phuket despite Rainy Season “officially” ending last month. In Kata, I settled more into the routine of the new school term — teaching every day and spending my evenings… Continue reading

Sunday Summary #11
Welcome to Sunday Summary, the meme in which I attempt to summarize the week that came before. This was a more of a “stampy” week than I have had in quite some time, with a few blogs that reflect my philatelic pursuits. I also got a new job for a new company. Somewhat ironically, the… Continue reading

UN Day Quadfecta!
I did not set out to complete a blogging quadfecta (yes, it is a word!) today but that is just what I will do with this final post about United Nations Day. As I have written before, I began collecting stamps with a general worldwide focus before concentrating on U.S. stamps. This was during the… Continue reading

Sunday Summary #10
Welcome to Sunday Summary, the meme in which I attempt to summarize the week that came before. And what a week it was! We had widespread flooding throughout the island along with numerous landslides which blocked access to communities along the coast and downed powerlines. This all caused massive disruptions to, well, everything including my… Continue reading

Sunday Summary #8
Welcome to Sunday Summary, the meme in which I attempt to summarize the week that came before. This was the first week of the month-long term break and I was even lazier than usual. I concentrated on music and little else, as we will see. I have decided that the coming week will see more… Continue reading
