As many of you know I am spending my Thanksgiving holiday in Singapore with my parents. I am sure there are those of you thinking, Jim what an interesting choice of location to spend an American holiday. But, I assure you for a guy who doesn’t eat turkey and loathes football it is fantastic.

I have been having a relaxing time here so far. My mother and I have been hanging together these first few days. Which if you know my mother, which some of you do, it is a real treat. My father has been working, which consists of just about 12 hours a day. Making him a tired middle aged man when he gets home. Being the trooper he is, he has taken us out at night, which is very cool, even if it does cost $12 S a beer. (more on that latter)

The biggest problem has been my mother’s legs and feet. Being a woman of mature age her body was not happy with her long plane ride. It seems her feet and legs in a show of revolution have swelled a bit. Not anything to serious but it is now day three and they are still not happy. Today we will be hanging around the apartment as we attempt to get them back in order. Poor kid.

Have seen many amazing things in this last couple of days. I know that my friends Chuck and Ash, maybe more Ash, would be falling over themselves about the women. For me though the best part, other than the McDonalds on every corner, is the fact I am 5 inches talker than everyone else. Having the ability to look down the street and see everything for miles, I feel like a basketball player. Be that a white no talent basketball player.

Going to go down to the pool now, it is a bomby 85 with 100% humidity. More to come just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Also wanted to send a shout out to all my Indian friends (feathers not dots) thanks for the food. In hindsight though, sort of the beginning of the end?
