Late night Catan & Airport Blues

Twenty months ago I met Craig. Almost 16 months ago, I joined Craig in Thailand. 15 months ago, I met Jerod. Almost a year ago, Craig's friends brought him a Settlers of Catan game. It's been "on" ever since!

Friday night, we played our last game together (for a while). Acutally, we played 3 games and interestingly enough, we each won a game (which is more surprisingly when you know Jerod's record - joking). It was a great finish to one of our traditions.

Over the past 15 months we have "set up the board", hiked, bowled, prayed, confessed, worshipped, eaten cheap Thai, soaked each other and ruled Chiang Mai together.

Last night began a new Craig-less Era in Chiang Mai.

Craig we will miss you.

We already do. God bless.
