		<title>Benjamin: YouTube&#8217;s search technology ain&#8217;t so hot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Benjamin loves construction backhoes and excavators. Wherever we drive, he helpfully points them out on the street. And he has several toy trucks, the most treasured of which are the backhoes that hover over us on the shelf at the head of our bed.
He also seems to love bowling. Annie&#8217;s cousin Nam often takes him [...]]]></description>

		<title>I not conjugate, I not</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Becca doesn&#8217;t quite have all her verb conjugation and helper words down yet. In fact, sometimes, she just bails on conjugation altogether. Pretty understandable, as Thai language has no verb conjugation by subject and only very simple and consistent conjugation by past/future, the equivalent of adding &#8220;-ed&#8221; for the past tense and &#8220;will -&#8221; for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Que Sera Sera</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apparently a Thai insurance company is running ads here using the old Doris Day song &#8220;Que Sera Sera&#8221;. Yesterday Becca came home from school  and sang it to me out of the blue.  Just blew me away.

		<title>Becca: &#8220;Look, Daddy, I can read now!&#8221;</title>

So proud, I can hardly type through my tears.

		<title>Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Got a chance to board/tour another US Navy ship visiting Phuket, this time the USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6).
Our tour was given by the Executive Officer (X.O.) Capt. Jonathan L. Harnden himself. A very warm and approachable guy with a serious job. He couldn&#8217;t have been more tolerant of my ridiculous questions, most of which where [...]]]></description>

		<title>Elephants</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of Denny&#8217;s ex-employees Phat runs her family&#8217;s Phuket elephant trekking business up in the hills above Kalim beach. So, last Sunday, we bundled up the kids and took them out for a quick ride.
In the pictures, it appears that Benjamin was none too pleased with the whole thing. In fact, as he was riding, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Solid kid, questionable parent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since I quick smoking, I have practically no use for lighters any more. 
So, today as evening settles in and the mosquitoes begin to congregate, I start to set up some mosquito coils. But I&#8217;m stopped dead because I can&#8217;t find a single lighter in the whole house. I ask Annie if we have any, [...]]]></description>

		<title>1 to 10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to countless hours of private tutoring by Dora the Explorer, Becca can now count to ten in Spanish. She also knows &#8220;gracias&#8221;, &#8220;de nada&#8221;, &#8220;estrella&#8221;, and a few others. 
On a similar topic, Benjamin (2y9m) astounded me yesterday by counting to ten in English.
Way to go, children!

Before the mayo, before the fresh-water packing, and before the can, there is tuna.
A day of fishing in the Andaman Sea waters around Phuket.
