Dedicated to Michelle

The other day friend asked me what happened to my blog. I felt a rush of guilt... oh crap. I have so let you down blog! I've allowed you to collect cyber dust and I've restricted you from feeling the gentle massage of my keyboard strokes... I think it's safe to say that blogging is not my passion... if this blog had four legs and chased squirrels I would be much more attentive... Last time we saw each other, I was eating pancakes with some monks in Pattaya.... since then I saw some more monks in Cambodia, ate some tapas in Spain, went to the motherland, Italia, with a bottle of wine and my brother, watched some inkers in Bangkok, traipsed around my favorite market in Bangkok, Pak Khong Talat, and went for a sail to Ko Lan... Phewww.. I'm tired! And as I write this on my 6 month anniversary as an expat, it's clear that I'm hooked on this life...
