househusband

So, I am back in Lopburi (Monkey Town), and I have resumed my duties of househusband. Luckily this mostly entails doing laundry and taking out the garbage. If that is all it takes, and I find the right suitor, it may just be my next career move. In addition, I have taken on a new role as Katie's administrative assistant, or "Admin" as she calls me. In this capacity I help her out with paperwork as she grades her students' oral presentations, which have been fun--lots of singing and dancing, and even a drag show! It has been a fun week, though not nearly so gluttonous as before, except for a huge dinner last with a foul-mouthed but friendly teacher from Katie's school and his family. Sadly, today is Katie's last day teaching. The two things I will miss most are the declarations of love from students of both genders and seeing how well Katie has her students trained. No, they are not well behaved during class, but even better almost any kid who walks by with food knows to offer her a taste. She doesn't even have to resort to saying, "teacher try." It is quite remarkable.

Tomorrow we are leaving Lopburi. Gone will be the days of watching Katie entertain Thailand's youth with her husky voice, playing badminton next to stray dogs eating a dirty diaper, and getting dirty looks from the maids at the hotel because of Katie's questionable moral fiber due to her having a male guest.

Well, I am going to have to keep this post short, as the sounds of fighting games on full volume are about to drive me mad ("Terrorist Defeated!"), but look forward to a special guest blogger who will arrive in Thailand on Monday.
