{.asset-media-link} It’s been mostly work, actually, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t share a few of my accomplishments on the golf course this month. First, at the challenging chipping course at Laem Chabang International Golf and Country Club.

Go away for a while, and come back, and find some of one’s favorite flavors now offered in potato chip or peanut form. New, and awesome, flavor developments. {.asset-media-link} {.asset-media-link}

I had never run so far, or for so much time, in my life. When I crossed the finish line at the Orcas Island 25k in 3:42:48 (or 222.8 minutes), poured a beer and got in line for pizza, I was wondering how the finish times were distributed.

{.asset-media-link} I’ve found the birdie dance photos and the botanizing posts to be a bit blasé, so although there have still been a lot of both, I have not felt any need to document those exploits here.

{.asset-media-link} I flew a few times in April, and finally reached 106 flight miles on United. It would have happened sooner if they hadn’t stopped flying to Bangkok, but so it goes.

This was a big month for golf, and I made three birdies in a practice round in Bangkok, before the big tournament in Chonburi. Maybe it was the pressure, maybe it was the street clothes, or perhaps the huge (and loud) galleries — I don’t know.

Without any golf reports to report, or unsolicited advice to dispense, this will instead be a miscellany. {.asset-media-link} Where to begin? Perhaps sunrise, day, and night views of Niagara Falls would be good.

Continuing this series of unsolicited advice, I’d like to recommend: Thailand in January After three weeks away, it is indescribably salubrious to be back in Thailand, enjoying the clement days of January.

That was good timing. I was on sabbatical for a little over a week in a mountain town, and the only days it didn’t snow were the days of my arrival and departure.
