In August, Nancy and I spent six weeks in Asia and Hawaii. Nancy presented at a convention in Hong Kong and then taught a course in Honolulu. In between we had some time to kill - so we spent about a week of it in Thailand. Thailand used to be called Siam - setting for the famous Broadway show - "The King and I." While touring several of the colorful temples in Bangkok - our tour guide told us that Thailand is still a kingdom - and the king has banned "The King and I" from Thailand. You can buy any American first run DVD on the streets for $2 - but the people are not allowed to see this film or play about their country.
About a month ago - the play was advertised on local TV her ein town. The tickets were to go on sale the next day at 10 AM. So retired Harry - found a slot in his busy schedule to show up an hour early to be first in line. He got great seats - also got tickets to Peter Pan with Cathy Rigby and the Will Rogers Show (no Will will not be appearing - he is dead). So guess who got to sit in the front row for this Broadway play featuring Stephanie Powers?
