I would like to thank all the little people who made this possible

My sister Bethany has honored me by bestowing a Kreativ Blogger Award on me. I don't know if I truly deserve the honor, being as I have been such a lackadaisical blogger lately, but, "Thank you."

I guess as a recipient of this honor I am supposed to come up with a list of seven favorite solo activities. Well, all my favorite activities are done alone, so this shouldn't be hard.

1. Riding my motorbike through the countryside of Thailand, looking at the rice paddies and small villages.

2. Reading, always my favorite activity.

3. Photographing stuff. Could be anything, I just kind of lose myself in the moment while I am taking pictures.

4. Surfing the internet. Of course best done alone, nothing worse than having a backseat driver while you are trying to read your favorite sites.

5. Birdwatching. This can be done with other people, and that is enjoyable to. But often it is best to just walk around in the woods, or on the beach alone, looking for birds.

6. Uh oh, running out of ideas here. Hmmm, I know, eating khao soi. It is impossible to eat this noodle curry soup without getting it all over yourself, so I never order it when I am eating with other people.

7. Swimming at night. I used to love swimming in the lake alone at night. Just yourself and the soft slap of water against the shore. It was great to roll over on my back and look up at the stars. No one with you while you contemplate the cosmos, the infinity of the heavens and your place in it. I don't do that anymore, since I don't have a lake to swim in, but I would love to do it again.

So those are my seven things. Now I am supposed to nominate for more winners of the Kreativ Blogger Award, but I am going to have to pass. I don't really follow any other blogs, besides my family. I am really not a very good blogger, since I don't read many other people's blogs.
