A knife at my throat

It's been a long time since I've had a knife held at my throat.
But after an early morning swim, and quick bite to eat, I experienced it once again.
This time though, it was a Bangkok straight-razor, expertly wielded by an old guy in a back=street barber shop. It cost me one Aussie dollar for one of the best shaves I've ever had. it would have cost me far more for a can of shaving foam - which I would have had to buy. Good start to the day.
Sitting here in the waiting room at the dentist, where they have WIFI, I am able to check a few e-mails, video-chat my family and write this short blog.
Another hour or two of dental punishment befre i head off to the Jitti gym once again. Looking forward to that.
More later - the day is yet to unfold.
