A Satisfying Thanksgiving, 2006

Ap and Amanda flew in from Orlando. Ap performs as the Golden Monkey in "The Lion King" acrobatic show at Disneyworld and, together with Amanda (who left the company several years ago) run a successful gymnastics and dance academy there. Ap is a manager of sorts and so only performs three times a week. Amanda is really great with kids.

We went to Tom's and Tammy's house in Surprise (almost to the town of Waddell). Their daughter's are Savannah and Autumn and there is another on the way. Tom is active in PKRA (Pro Kart Racing) which is go kart racing. If you type his name in Google, he comes up with mostly go kart things but also his regular job as Construction Project Manager for a large company here in Phoenix. Tammy does business over the internet.

Ying and Noy with their son, Seth, were there too. Had not seen them for about two years. They brought Tomi (my ex-wife) with them because I understand she lives with them now. Ying is a contributing reporter for the Thai Language newspaper out of LA and does some kind of mortgage work concentrating on the Thai community. Noy is still with STM, a semiconductor company from France which has a branch here in Phoenix.

Of course, Sara and Jim, with their kids were, there. Stepheny and Jake were with their Mom so could not make it this year.

It was a great time to be with family, eat, relax, re-acquaint ourselves, eat, rest, talk story, eat......
