well, i suppose, in a pinch, i could:
- trim christmas trees, though i do not see any on koh samui
- fix up this and that, even if the quality of construction on that island is simply germanic in duty and swiss in craftsmanship
- encourage wife to teach piano, but do not see any pianos about
- encourage wife to do continental cooking, but there are a lot of continental cooks about already
- teach computer games, but i am sure the kids are better at it
- start a lottery
- sell puts
- speculate in homes
- set up herbal medicine, coconut, lemon grass, and banana futures
- write tourist brochures
- gold banking
- gold storage
- gold-backed financing
- central banking (either responsible fashion or wastrel type, by popular vote)
- teach basic antenna theory
- teach wave equation and its derivation into option pricing formulae
- preach at the local place of worship about fire and brimstone
- translate between english and chinese
- illuminate between sense and nonsense
- spin and spun, stock jobbing, projectoring
and so i should be ok if ever stranded on koh samui
design airport lounge facilities and author rules and regulations regarding same
... must be off, flight to northern capital in a few min
