Weather returned to its surly self here today, boiling oxygen and carbon dioxide into a soupy mess of humidity and meteorological malaise.
Even after a nasty yesterday, I soldiered on today and acted as host to an online chat for my cash-challenged client...it zipped by faster than I expected, starting at 6:00 p.m. and ending after 7:00 p.m., although I thought it was only 6:15 p.m. when it was time to cut it off. This was my first time acting as host and answering questions as they were submitted online. I actually enjoyed it. Even the nasty comments were interesting challenges; I think I succeeded in being cool and collected to such an extent that most participants came quickly to my side and found the aggressive, strident questioners to be surly and nasty and undeserving of atention.
Because it was well after 7:00 p.m. when I was done, my entire wife (who works with me, in the office) suggested we got out to eat. We did, and enjoyed Tanee Thai as much today as we did the first visit. I got adventurous tonight and did not order my typical Pad Kee Mow. Instead, I ordered a Green Curry with Chicken. Green it was. Not my favorite, but not bad. My wife had a Chicken Volcano Dish...hard to say what it was, except it was fried strips of chicken with sesame seeds in the fried batter and lots of need for jazzing up with spicy Thai condiments.
Tomorrow (June 12) is a brother's birtday. June 9 was a sister's birthday. Happy birthday to the both of them!
