I do need to get over to my neighborhood par 3. It just seems that something else is planned.

That is funny about the kids and frequent flier miles. They are going on another trip tomorrow from Bangkok to Phuket. I still cant get over some of these Thai names. And hearing my MIL say the Thai word for pumpkin was always a shock - "fak thaawng".

I went cherry u-pick with X-GF (now just friend) and her cousins and aunt today. When we got back, her mother seemed so much friendlier with me. They have someone back in Vietnam lined up for her. Arranged marriages by wise parents - there are some pluses and minuses to the concept. Her parents had their marriage arranged and seem to be doing ok. Friend and I went out to eat an early dinner together and there is no tense feelings.

I have a hiking "non-date" tomorrow with a new lady. If we dont call it a date, it takes the nervousness off. And there is another lady I've been chatting with in the wings. I feel relaxed about meeting new ladies and dont seem to have the butterflies I have had in the past. I am going the John210 route and trying the sampler plate.
