My uncle, whom I haven't seen in 22 years, is visiting this weekend. It's cool, because we have a lot to catch up on, but it's a little draining...because we have a lot to catch up on. Also, we are doing museums and such and my legs are getting tired. (but my knees are fine, thank you to those who were about to ask)

Anyway, I bailed out of work Friday morning to pick him up and then spent the day together, then today we were touring all day. Sunday I have dragon boat practice in the morning and then we will be hitting museums all afternoon and then Monday I will send him on his way toward my parents.

It's great to see him. It's unfortunate that there was some confusion about whether he was coming and as a result I made commitments to other people for things on Friday night that I had to bail out on (I didn't think taking my 64-year old uncle to a gaysian party at a new club was a good idea). But I am still going to dragon boat practice Sunday because...well, just because.

This weekend has been a vortex of confusion for some time. First I was supposed to be flying to Bahrain this weekend for work, but I got out of that. Then I was supposed to be in Bangkok this weekend, then going to KL on Sunday, as part of a work trip, but that fell through. Then this visit...I tell you, there has just been something weird about this weekend.

I don't know what it is. Could it be because this is yet another Lunar New Year? In any event, Happy Songkran (Sawasdee Bpee Mai!) to all my Thai friends and Happy Bpee Mai (Souksan Vahn Bpee Mai!) to everyone from Laos!!!
