Sunday, August 15 2010. Thai Thai. A real steambath today, with temperatures in the 100s, followed by the usual suddenly-dark afternoon rainstorm. But that worked out fine, because I spent the whole day working on the new website tools. I should have done this long ago.

Lunch at Thai Thai. I ordered the same dish I had on Tuesday at Thai Orchid in Slidell: pad prik king, with beef, green beans, peppers, and onions. The sauce had an almost musky flavor that seemed to come from a mix of garlic and peanuts. It was not nearly as good as the one in Slidell. But I think Ricky may have been a little overwhelmed today. The dining room was nearly full, and the open tables looked recently used. I've never seen the place so busy. Well, the soup was good as usual.

And so ends my "vacation." Instead of a week in California, I stayed here and worked. Still, the break from the radio show relieved a lot of stress. And it's only a month or so until the train trip to Chicago.
