Dorn just informed me there's a newer version of his book Shadow in the Bridge World
www.amazon.com/Shadow-Bridge-World-Mike-Dorn-dp-1771402482/dp/1771402482/ref=dp_ob_title_bk
We all change and adapt as we get older, 71 years old. I’ve recently go on 3K runs at 6am and catch the sunrise, it’s the best time of the day, especially now when it’s so hot during the day. I eat mostly oatmeal with fruit and nuts for breakfast too. His book sounds interesting👍
Dorn is adapting well to his circumstances and probably living a better life. Sounds like you are as well.
I can relate.
I am Canadian -Southern Ontario. When I think about retiring in Thailand I will miss family. and that's it, I F- ing hate the winter. in Canada.
My travels have taken me all over the world But Thailand is the place I will be/
A very interesting Interview!
Thanks for the comment
Very enlightening interview. Thanks to you both ☀️
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great guest. I enjoyed this video.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much
Good questions 😊
Glad you like them!
Thanks for sharing your story as I found it very interesting . Koh Chang is one of my favorite places as a twice a year visitor from the USA. It does sound like a good fit for you and what you’re looking for. I wish you the best of luck and good health. Get the book finished and share the title and info with Tom so that he can pass it on.
Sounds good & Thanks for thee comment
Thank you for the good wishes. Unfortunately since this interview a myocardial infarction - a doctor's way of saying heart attack - has kicked my ass around the block and is yet another hurdle tossed at my Octolife by Mess'rs Murphy and Bftztplk trying to slow my writing process. Screw "em both.
@@Dorn131 Sorry to hear this news but hang in there and never give up. I don't know you but you sound like you have that fighting spirit to whip it and cheat death so keep on writing. Best to you!
@dorn131 Horrible news. I hope you’re feeling better.
Sabai Sabai. Hunting an affordable angiogram/plasty from Chantaburi to Sriracha.
Jeez Mikey, if you're going to mention my name, you at least could have held up a couple of my books, lol. Excellent interview and you're looking great. You must feel a helluva lot better losing that ton of weight. Cheers - Jason
Next time!
Hey Tom.....great person to interview.....I felt he was straight and to the point on things.......I was surprised being Canadian that he didnt miss hockey.......i think i would....I definitely enjoyed this one......
Thank You so much. I have several friends that are hockey addicts so to speak. Of course they watch it all on tv but some even play in a senior hockey league in Bangkok. facebook.com/rinktiiha/
The sports I enjoy most are😢 baseball and snooker. Hockey and golf take the back seat. At my age the usage of time necessitates reassignments of priorities. When half my age I enjoyed hockey a great deal. Gordie Howe used to play baseball on my dad's team. My sister used to babysit for Johnny Bower. I have enjoyed time with Eddie Shack. In high school I used to sit in a car with a friend at 30 below zero glued to the radio listening to NHL games. I regularly attended games of the Saskatoon Blades junior and the Quakers senior teams. Yeh, I miss those.
I could never imagine not seeing my son for decades .
It’s interesting you mentioned that. I feel the same way, though I know everyones family situation is different. Thanks for the input.
I understand only too well. It hasn't been a choice of mine but of theirs, salted with the jaundiced views of their mothers'. My natural son turned down offers to visit Canada, and had no interest in retaining his lucky dual citizenship. My adopted son has ears more receptive to feminine voices.
Another good value blog,
Thank you so much.
The hat says "Kind but mentally ill" 😅😂🤣
Hahaha, kind of explains Dorn a bit. 😂😂😂
It actually says "Good heart (jai dee) but psycho". Unfortunately psycho - especially in the intended connotation - is not translatable into Thai, so the inscription maker used the word "loki" which didn't do so hot either. The cap blew off when I was on the ferry to Koh Chang and was leaning on the rail having a toke. This time I got a cap saying "Blue Jays - Bo & Vladi". They promptly went into the tank and the Jaysies have been in the American League East toilet since.
Hahaha
I need my sourdough man !
Giving up bread is a tough call, I personally struggle with the carbs as well. Just to addicting.
Interesting fellow
Dorn really is, he's experienced so much in life.
what happened to the Naklua condo he had that he seemed to like so much?
That's something I should have dove into more. I realize during edit, I pretty much just skipped over it. Hopefully, Dorn is reading this and will reoly.
The Naklua condo where I expected to spend happily the rest of my life is the subject of the first chapters of my new book. It was dramatic, I'll hint that.
Do you make them a Margarita after the interview?
Hahaha, well of course
When I drink, which is seldom, I much prefer a good (or excellent) whisky, Scotch or Irish, no interest in Rye. I'm a joker and lifelong toker having been turned on initially in 1963 at USC by my English professor Willard Marsh, an award winning author.
I tried my 1st Rye just last month. WTH was that? What’s the point? Hahaha
@@MargaritasinParadise LOL you might need to HAVE to BE Canadian to understand Rye. I've been enjoying your videos. This one was GREAT, I enjoyed listening to Mike - fellow Canadian. Best to you both
What soi in naklua did he say that street food lady was? Soi portazon?
Soi Poitasan maps.app.goo.gl/i9Sc29v3pyn6WG2v6
If you turn onto Soi Photisarn where it deadends off Naklua it will bend right after a couple hundred meters and after a couple more you'll see one of the ubiquitous 7-11's on your left. Mama's is almost directly across from it. At the front will be a half dozen huge pots of food. Her Massaman Curry, a fave of mine, is available only on Tuesdays as she varies her daily menu.
AMIGO-LOSS THE GUT...HELP YOUSELF
It's interesting to how certain people have enough guts to say I'm fat in public. It's the one thing that I have heard all my life. I imagine most overweight people hear this as well. I also wonder if these people find it their mission to call out all overweight people? I also wonder if it makes you feel good? or do you think you’re making someone else feel good? or, Do you think you're giving friendly advice? Thanks for your input Amigo.
This guy is like a dude who did 40 years at the post office !! Ha ha !!
I almost wish I had a picture of him when he was heavier a completely different look.
Very poor sound I”m afraid
I appreciate your input. I noticed the sound quality was low during editing. We did the interview in a hotel room which created an echo effect in the specific room. Unfortunately I wasn't aware of it until we got into editing. It sounds pretty good if the volume is low but when the volume is turned up it's noticeable. Thanks again.
Paid them snow dues ! Ha ha !
I may have to copy that line some day.
