Today, May 25, is Towel
Day, an important intragalactic holiday.
On this day, we hitchhikers proudly carry our towel everywhere to salute
Douglas Adams (1952-2001), author of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Without his Guide, we would be lost in
our galactic wanderings, and we would forget to always pack that essential towel.
Here in Thailand, our Hot Season has morphed into the Rainy Season. It is still uncomfortably humid and hot,
still Sweat City, and a towel is an absolute necessity as we slog through
Samsara.
Re: my Roadwork exercise routine (high stair-climbing along the Chao
Phraya River with 2kg weights in each hand; 6 steep stairways; 2.5km in 47
minutes). I’m entering my 5th week of 3
sessions per week, and I’m starting to feel that power buzz. It strengthens my legs, feet, back and gut.
This week I will consult with my urologist to plan upcoming prostate
surgery. I want to be sure to be fit and
strong before it is done, as I will then spend downtime in hospital and
recovery.
