More For My Memoirs

Actually, it's going to be kind of a giggle that I get to tell my grandchildren how I got to be there for a coup d'etat. I'll get them all wide-eyed with stories of revolution and celebration and uncertainty and turmoil.

I won't bother to tell them that it really was — aside from the news itself — just another ho-hum day in Thailand. Hell: I wouldn't even have known about it if I hadn't bothered to ask why Pot was home from school this morning. (Well, CNN.com did make it a headline story mid-afternoon local time, and it is possible I would have found out about it then... but, well... you get the idea.)
