As a ten-year SR member with a whopping 130 posts, I am perhaps the lurkiest of lurkers when it comes to the weekender or any other thread. But the weekender thread helped keep this weekend binge-drinker sober and safe in the beginning, and gave rise to the idea that not everyone pounded 14 beers in 3 hours every Friday and Saturday night. I am eternally grateful for that.

To coin the local vernacular...

"Checking In".

Regards.

Happy NY everyone from Luang Prabang Laos!

Sao - congrats! Happy birthday!

I am back from the remote boat. Trip was ok - did not live up to expectations. I managed to wrestle a sea urchin and lost - with 50 spines in my feet. Ouch! I am chilling here at a cafe, grateful to be relaxing with a book after catching up with friends back in the states for most of the day.

I have 2 weeks in Laos.

Happy to be here with you for NY.

Work is done for the day. Maybe a little more. But then relax. Have a big sloppy lunch. And close out this year with a steady hand.

IN!

I leaned heavily on the weekender in the beginning as well. Hard times make good friends.
