Mmmmm...? Someone say my name? Wha...?

I was just in the website, bashing out some words and things got very strange. Some kind of karmic force came crushing in. It was rather like those tanks full of small fish in Bangkok. You put your feet in and they nibble off the dead skin. Kinda sexy.

It was all these people zipping around in my words.

So I checked the stats. Woo hoo. A word from LAleslie and I'm famous. How good. I was waiting for a sign. Indeed, I've just put the finishing touches on the last chapter so this rebirth is apropos. Thank you LA.

Dog returns from the kennel. He hasn't been idle. If you're nice to him he'll show you some more.

Isn't that an interesting metaphor!

Welcome back, Dogster. We have missed you.

...or a deliciously tart-tongued remark or two.

I was sending telepathic messages across the wide Pacific. No return calls.
Then I tried promoting your blog on this site a couple of times. Bingo!
Cali, he's talking about those fishies in tanks in SE ASia where you soak your feet as the little things nibble dead skin off. An aquamarine pedicure. And it is sexy, if a bit creepy.

We welcome you back caninus disappearus. 'Bout time.

Welcome back, dogster! Yes yes yes, you were missed by all of us here. Anxious to read more of your travel adventures.

BTW, Jaya said to say hello to you. She was at the BOS GTG this year.

Now, where's your next trip!

How lovely to come back to such a nice welcome.

Where's the next trip? Dunno. As some of you will note, I've been attending to the website. New format and graphics AND new stories. Looking for Jayarvarman is finished, all bar the shouting. I'm letting the glaze settle.

Re: Jayarvarman - I can reveal new information! The next boat, the Jayan, will have the choice of private 'escorts' as well as the classic guided tours. So, if the idea of the cruise sounds good, but the idea of the guided tour shlep doesn't - finally, you have an option.

The tour escorts will all be trained up crew. Trust me - this is just fine. You need a minder, not a guide. They'll accompany you wherever you want to go, translate and sort stuff. It's exactly how Dog has most of his adventures on river cruises - dump the group, head off with a minder on your own. Brilliant.

Go here for the info on the new venture:

So young Thomas listens. Now we just have to wait to see what he does about the orphanage.
