It's 5 a.m. Monday morning. Will go out for a run around the airport road, then I hope I'll be ready to start the week.

Decided to start a new blog: Vientiane Daily Photo at vtedaily.blogspot.com/ Gives me an excuse to read up on Vte. sites and history

Walked all around town today - planned to walk for 1/2 hr then do some work. Finally got home at 2 pm and have been reading science fiction.

I can see the sky today. It rained yesterday, washing the haze out of the air. However, it doesn't block the sun so it's very hot today.

Oh, it's the weekend. I suddenly noticed.

Long travel day; didn't leave until noon because of meeting in a.m. Audiobooks- "Things I've been Silent About"&"Goodbye Columbus"

Yesterday's wedding food was dangerous. Shouldn't eat 'goi pa' in Salavan hot season. Tho, if gotta do BRAT diet, bananas here are the best.

Hazy day in Salavan. Going to a wedding in a friend's village at 9 am. Trying to convince myself to go for a walk first.

New Yorkers freak out when they smell a sweet fragrance downtown: tinyurl.com/dfjtfp It wasn't a terrorist plot - it's New Jersey!

It's 10 am, gotta go running or go to gym. Too tired to decide. Take a nap first?
