Good night Yuva.
Brooke does care a lot. She has paid me the ultimate compliment an adult child can pay their parent.
She no longer just sees me as Dad. She also sees me as her best friend! Brooke absolutely has no
problem talking to me about anything, She knows the first thing I hear is as a father, but that before
I say anything, I will review it through the eyes of her friend and then advise her based on what is
best for her regardless of what either of us wants to hear. The truth does tend to rule in these
circumstances.
As a youngster, I was always in trouble for being out too long playing baseball and football. I was
never too good at basketball, and for the short time I wrestled, I was fair. I don't remember exactly,
but I think my wrestling record was something along the lines of 20-1. I lost my last match. Guess I
was too cocky for that one. So yes, I was a fairly athletic when I was young. Although I did not
really develop until after I was in the Marine Corps for a while. I was just under 5 feet tall when I
into the Marine Corps, and 5'7" when I got out. So I guess you could say 59.5 inches in, and 66.8
inches when I got out.
Looks like the Thai government is going to help the farmers a bit more. They have worked up
some financial aid for strapped farmers. Low interest loans to help them pay off loans to loan
sharks and other needs for getting their farms back on track. This can be a positive course of
action. Better to owe the government than to owe a loan shark. All the rest of the news is about
the King approving of the new Prime Minister.
Pleasant dreams and sleep well. I think of you always.
