Sick computer

I have to send the computer out to get fixed, so no blogs for a week or so, but check in and I will be updating as soon as possible. Thank you.

thought for the day

My favorite quote is "Life is too short to be little," written by Disraeli… Often we allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should ignore and forget. We lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in a year's time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody. No, let us devote our life to worthwhile actions and feelings, to great thoughts, real affections and enduring undertakings. Andre Maurois

lost iphone

It seems there was a transfer of wealth, my phone was lifted by someone slick from someone slow. Not to be found, the find my iphone app didn't work so I guess they took out the sim card, I have to get a lanyard and put it around my neck, better yet keep it in a zippered pocket, one of the things that I don' like abotu the city is the bike thieves and their ilk, I have about 60 pounds of locks on my bike. In Chiang Mai, My wallet fell out of my pocket and 3 young people came up on their bike and gave it to me. I had a thousand dollars in it, they would not take a reward. different cultures I guess.

You will be seeing many changes in this blog as I study techniques and make changes.

Water system complete for Muser village.

www.toysforthailand.org in partnership with Mae Jo University in Mae Jo Thailand, has completed the water system for the remote karen village near Burma. This is a real boon for the Village which hhas no electricity for the school, the piping system for the old water system had exposed pipes which were broken by elephants in the jungle. We are looking forward to getting a solar electric system for the school. Thank You to all of the TFT supporters out there.

It's a Small World

Good day

I am starting this blog to keep my friends up to date on my travels and exploits. I am also working on www.humbletraveler.com. I have many friends who I have invited to visit me in Asia and I have decided to make a trip of it. Making up an Itinerary through polling my friends on which places they would like to see most. This should be fun.
I will be in NYC until late May and then it is off to Bend Oregon to visit my good friends Jack Moerschbaecher and Grace Goh. Then off to Pahoa, Hawaii to visit my lovely daughter and her husband, Jeremiah and Jenny Lofgreen. I leave there to return to Chiang Mai, Thailand in the spring. I will be taking several photos daily and posting these here.
Thought for the day:
It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us. This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good heart whatever they might have to say.
