My daughter Jaime and I are long time basketball fans of The Carleton Ravens Men's Team and we took advantage of the CanAm challenge to catch 3 games at the Raven's nest. Carleton won all 3 games against NCAA Div 1 teams, with the best game being against NorthEastern. If you like basketball and live in Ottawa you should get out and watch the Raven's play.

hence the small crowd as the summer weather has been abysmal
We also tried to get out to a Ravens Football game, but the game this September 3rd, the home opener was sold out and I travel back to Bangkok before the nest game. I played for the Ravens football team from 1972 to 1976 and have fond memories of the characters I played with.
One of the things I miss about Ottawa is coaching basketball. I coached for over 30 years, boys and girls, club and school basketball. If I find myself back in Ottawa I would seriously want to start coaching again despite having coached over 1,600 games already.
It is August 27th so that means in 12 days, I start the long flight back to BKK and my family. Thavorn and Jaidan are enjoying their stay in Phang Nga but will head back to Bangkok on September 1st. I think Thavorn misses her friends back in Bangkok. They are a fun loving bunch of girls.
Jaidan will also start back in Nursery school when I get back. I am not sure he missed it, but I m sure he will let us know :-)
I always miss certain foods while I am in Thailand and one of them is the Tim Horton's breakfast Sausage Sandwich so I made sure I had one this morning.
Jaidan is often mistaken for a girl because of his long hair. I am not sure it is the hair because Thavorn put his hair up and shot some photos. Hair up, or down, Jaidan would make for a pretty girl .. If he was not such a mischievous boy :-)
While on the topic of girls, I was chatting on LINE with one of my ex bargirl friends and we were discussing the type of girl I thought her BF preferred and the type I liked. He would prefer the first pic and I like the second type. They are both typical of Thai beauties ...
