I’m sure you’ve all been wondering if I’ll be heading to Thailand on Thursday, and the answer is yes. All of our sources say things are fine and the media seems to agree. It’s always exciting to visit an area hot in the news, especially one with tanks nearby.

Guess that’s not the only worry since Thailand is one of the hardest hit areas of the H5N1 Bird Flu virus. They’ve had 25 human cases and 17 fatalities since 2004. Good thing I’m a vegetarian… and I usually don’t kiss birds.

As long as I don’t stand in front of any tanks, or mingle with livestock, I should be enjoying the smell of beautiful Vanda Miss Joaquim (Singapore’s national flower) the week after Bangkok.

Remember, I have greater odds of having a fatal walk across the street than anything bad happening on this trip.

My blogging seems to go in spurts and I’m really bogged down with a current project I’m working on. It’s coming down to the wire and there’s still much to do. However, I’ve squeezed in a bit of time (for my sanity) to get the Aldenta blog back up and going. The site is my only active form of marketing at the moment so it has multiple purposes. It helps me let off some steam, share information, and promote “me,” which is the product I sell. Wait… does that make me a ho?

Thanks to Keith Olbermann who speaks for us all in his piece - Special Comment - 9/11:Five Years Later. Make sure you watch the full video. (Found at connecting*the*dots)

However, of all the things those of us who were here five years ago could have forecast ââ?¬â?? of all the nightmares that unfolded before our eyes, and the others that unfolded only in our minds ââ?¬â?? none of us could have predicted this.

Sorry for no updates in so long. I’ve been slowly moving over photos from the old followjohn.com and will be adding the old posts right after. In the meantime, you can get an update on the Hong Kong trip from Kelly’s new website. Also, check out the photos from the trip. She’s a much better blogger than I am. :-)
