Massage

What's better than a one hour massage?

A two hour massage!!!

My body was feeling jacked on Sunday so I went and had a 2 hour massage at the mall near my house. They cost 450 baht (around $15 US) and the lady was so nice I think she kept going for an extra 1/2 an hour. I feel better.

This Saturday is "sports day" which should be called cheerleading day. The kids all gather around and cheer on the capable few who actually compete. This involves choreographed dances, water bottles slamming the floor, and a lot of long involved cheers. We have to be at school at 6:30 am just to hang out and watch the spectacle. They have been practicing for over a month for this.

It's cooling down here, in the morning it probably gets into the low 70's upper 60's with a slight breeze. It's like my favorite days in the fall back home. the best news is that the rainy season is over so I get the cool weather without the nasty precipitation. I hope I can handle the temps when I come home to visit after Christmas.

Temps sound perfect! You will just have to bundle up when you visit home. Sorry we'll miss you, when will you be back in the US? I'll be in Vancouver BC mid-Feb to do stats for Olympic curling. If I can swing it I'm going to tack a couple days in Portland onto the front end, have to check on ticket prices though. It was minus 30 last week, but plus 25 expected for Thanksgiving, yay. geez i hate winter.. Love you, g

I have all of my warm clothes in a bag in Dad's garage. I should be ok.

wow. 60 degrees outside.. brrrr. lol
I was standing at the bus stop a couple weeks ago and it was 9 degrees outside! I looked like a snowman I had so many layers on! I also had a big coffee cup in my hand, and somehow i was still freezing. Although, i must say, the worst part about cold school days is carrying all of the coats around school all day. (we don't have lockers for some stupid reason)
