Amateur Traveler talks to Matt Kepkes of NomadicMatt.com about his trip to the ancient capitals of Thailand: Ayutthaya, Lopburi and Sukhothai. Before the capital moved to Bangkok it was in each of these three cities as invaders came in from what is now Cambodia and Burma and then were subsequently repelled. Instead of taking the night train to Chang Mai as many tourists do, Matt and his traveling companions explored these cities on the way. In their travels they found ancient temples (some in ruins and some well preserved), wonderful night markets, troops of monkeys, friendly people and a slice of rural Thailand.

Every day we contribute to the "treasure of our heart," for good or evil. Fr. Stephen looks at this and suggests how to nurture the good within our heart.

Sponsored by: www.GotoMyPC.com/podcast I love this time of year, when Christmas tiptoes stealthily into the stores. You know how it is. At first it’s just a candy cane or two and then an ornament or maybe a small string of lights. It’s so subtle it would be easy to miss. Not really. Christmas lands on retail stores some time in August the way the Allied Army landed on Normandy. When the Holiday merchandise arrives it’s every man for himself and if you stand in one place too long you could find yourself strung with tinsel, illuminated by a string of C7s or splattered white with artificial snow. There’s no place for wimps in a Happy Yuletide. Every year, the manufacturers trot out bizarre new Christmas-themed products. For example, there’s a certain greeting card company to protect its identity, we’ll call it Mallhark that brings out a whole new line of collectible tree ornaments every year. Tucked in amongst the Santas and snowmen and penguins you’ll find Teenage Fashion Model Barbie (trademark), and The Wicked Witch of the West (all rights reserved), and Robby the Robot (patent pending). It gets even stranger when you see the ornaments celebrating Star Trek , and Star Wars , and assorted superheroes (DC). Who thinks the best way to say “Peace on Earth, Goodwill toward men” is with a Klingon battle cruiser, Han Solo in trooper armor, or Wolverine with his claws extended? Is the company motto actually “When you care enough to send the very weirdest?” (Full Text) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Like this excerpt? Want the whole story?

Thanks to all of the great folks who commented on episode #180 (-tioning Home Improvement.) As I mentioned, in that episode I gave a nod to The Brink from the incomparable J.C. Hutchins.  You can learn all about J.C. and his amazing projects at: http://www.jchutchins.net Thanks to @MichaelPokocky for his shout-out on Twitter and to @elucian for including me in #WriterWednesday Finally a tip o the hat to the good folks at MQResource.com for including this show in a list of comedy podcasts.  You can read the post at http://tinyurl.com/yfoay9w
