Well, I am retired!

    As another day of idleness draws to close it struck me that "I am retired".  The retirement concept for me has meant the freedom to do what I want and very little that I don't want. Sitting around has not been my idea of retirement life. These few days of quietude reinforce my more active approach. This is not a complaint, living in the comfort of the guesthouse while I avoid crowds which may harbor the virus, is not difficult or painful...just not what I would regularly choose.
    Looking for noon lunch I did venture out to the monthly street fair on Silom Rd., a couple of blocks away.  After eating my lunch I mosied back to my room. Last night I even ordered
room service.  Within twenty minutes an order of chicken fried rice was at my door for $2.50...it was very good, too.
   So, this is life in the slow lane. News broke this morning of a mass shooting in Korat, about four hours away. This is very unusual in Thailand...perhaps the shooter thought he was in America!
