On my drive to Plai Laem Temple, I saw amazing, if kitschy, sculptures like this one.

This little kid kickboxed the crap out of a kid 4 inches taller.

This is the taller, and meaner, kid who got beat.

My little bungalow on the beach.
Hello Son
We're on the Beach here in Charleston, SC. The weather is perfect, the villa is unbelievable, the beach is right at our door, we're lovin' it. We are having a wonderful time.
It seems that you are having a great adventure, and we are very happy for that. It sounds very exciting for you. Have more and more of the same and even better.
We went on a day trip to Savannah yesterday with our friends Ron and Vickie Small, and their 22-month old little girl, Ella. It was an interesting day. Lots of antibellum architecture, and lots of hot weather (95 degrees). We had lots of water and a couple of good meals. We did a good walking throughout Savannah. Very old city.
When I booked the villa, it was oceanview and I figured we'd see the ocean from afar, and have to walk or drive down to the water. However, sometimes Expedia does good, and this time they did real good. The ocean waves roll right up to the very front of the villa. We have a veranda, nicely screened in, that faces only ocean, and we have been sitting there a lot. It's great.
Mostly, your Mom is very relaxed and enjoying this all very much. Of course, I am as well. Currently, we are at the restaurant, sitting outside, having crab cakes, fresh seafood salad and a seafood omelette, listening to a guy playing pleasant background music on his guitar. Decadent perhaps, but lovely.
We are also enjoying reading your blog as we do every morning.
Life is good.
See you in a while.
Dad & Mom
Wow buddy that looks like paradise. Speaking of paradise, Anna Lisa (Kelly's Cleaning Person) came by today and cleaned the jesus fuck out of our house. It is spotless. We also cleaned out the fridge for real. $
She grew up in a Phillipino ghetto and she said it was paradise compared to our house. Not anymore though. We are all set. She is going to come every 3 or 4 weeks.
That beach house looks amazing. Keep rocking broseph.
Hey Dad!
Glad to see I'm not the only one in the family in the midst of a relaxing, fun and much needed vacation. Thanks for the update. Very good to hear that Mom is having a nice time, she certainly needs and deserves it. Also glad to hear you check out my blog every day. I'm enjoying writing it and glad to hear from my friends and family who are following along.
Please send my love to Mom and keep some for yourself.
Best,
