Thai

I attended a meeting all day today with other mental health professionals. I quickly realized that people get easily bored particularly when a speaker (or presenter) goes off on tangents. I observed that to kill the boredom most would find other things to do such as reading magazines, texting and im-ing each other, going to bathroom every 15 minutes and even playing jawbreaker on their Pocket PCs. Anything to keep the oblangata happy. Am sure you are wondering what I was doing. Right? - I was seated patiently, listening carefully. You don't believe me, ha!

In fact I was thinking about
Thailand. See we (four colleagues) had gone for lunch at a Thai restaurant right off 46 in Totowa. As I munched away at my Pad Medmamoung I wondered about this country. So when we got back at the meeting I quickly pulled up my Ipaq and checked on how strong their currency is against the dollar. Can you believe that 1 US dollar = 34 Thailand Baht. See you can invest almost everywhere on earth. Right there I agreed with Prov 13:11 that ... he who gathers money little by little make is grow.
