From the Author:
Salutations.
I am JaiChai.
And if I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you before, I'm delighted to make your acquaintance now.
I invite you to interact with everyone, learn, and have as much fun as possible!
For my returning online friends, "It's always great to see you again!"
So What? We were drunk and it was my birthday...(Humor)
An old buddy of mine popped in yesterday from Thailand.
With no warning, he and his girlfriend showed up on my porch around 4:00pm.
This is not unusual for him (or me).
We had been through so much in the past that stuff like this (unexpected drop-ins) was OK.
In fact, it's an expected, "Brother Bonding" thing. And this was treasured by both of us, especially since neither one of us had biological brothers.
Anyway, we all went out to dinner and drinks.
The first conversation focus of the night was about the times we'd participated in Cobra Gold in the past - when we were young, "invulnerable", warriors (translated: Dumb enough to volunteer, stupid enough to stay, and lucky enough to retire!).
"Those were crazy fun times, no?" I said.
We both agreed.
"Khrap, khrap!" he said.
And raising our beers, we said, "Chok dee khrap! (cheers)!
Then, he reminded me about my 35th birthday party.
Damn, that was fun!

With the help of my wife at the time, a bunch of friends threw me a surprise birthday party.
And since they brought their significant others with them, I had to sequester my six Rottweilers in a backroom during the party.
The Rotties were not dangerous unless I ordered them to be, but the sheer size of the dogs - each one over 150 pounds with a head at least 8 inches wide - could easily scare strangers.
No Board Games? Well, How 'Bout This?
Yup. That's right.
Electric dog collars!
Picture this.
Six grown men, two teams of three, and two flags.
The collars were rigged to activate whenever a person was near the perimeter of my property.
The goal?
Capture the enemy's flag - PAST MY PERIMETER!
Two wives (one from a player of each team) operated handheld, override units - "just in case".
(I secretly told my wife to cheat and zap whoever she felt like zapping - from the other team, of course. Unfortunately, the other team captain told his wife the same thing!)
It was fuckin' hilarious!!
Because of the two electric prongs inside of each collar, all the players woke up the next morning looking like we'd been bitten by turbo-charged vampires!

Mighty Kind of You for stopping by.
Truly hope to see you again!
About the Author

After 24 years of active duty, he retired in Asia.
Since then, he's been a full-time, single papa and actively pursuing his varied passions (Writing, Disruptive Technology, Computer Science and Cryptocurrency - plus more hobbies too boring or bizarre for most folk).
He lives on an island paradise with his teenage daughter, longtime girlfriend and three dogs.
