Jealous, maybe

sitting at the riverfront this evening, i saw a father-son out, one was running the other was pushing along on a scooter. i got to thinking how nice it would be to raise a young family here now. lots of domestic help, nanny for kids, housekeeper full time, driver, etc. what a wonderful opportunity for them to experience this. but then so was australia in its own way altho we didnt have the "staff" but we did have an experience. the other thing i was thinking was there are no teenagers in the compound that i've seen. most of the kids are middle school or younger which probably means that if you want a decent education for your child, then they have to be sent away or left behind. i'll keep a look out for teenagers since i've only just realized they arent around. other thing is i havent seen many dogs. possibly two and two behind a gate peaking their nose out (white fluffy kind). khaki capris/orange linen shirt

dad returning from singapore tonight. will order pizza, make a salad, he can have his grey goose on the rocks with a twist, i'll have a diet coke. figured he didnt need to be out dining when the weekend will be full of entertaining. sat at PMS pool today, finished book, started another. walked around AnPhu (like State Street in Greensboro).
