Another Full Day


Yikes – yesterday was a mess at the office. The only thing that saved me is that while in Aceh I had access to email, so I didn’t return to unread 500 emails. Nevertheless (and even though I was all cleaned up on my emails on Friday at 945am), I still returned to [...]

Sunrise – Sunset – Sunrise – Sunset


You know … the song from Fiddler on the Roof? Got it? Good.
Ok, so Sunday we went to a wedding reception for an Indonesian co-worker of mine. Reception was at a mid-range hotel and was in a large conference room. The room was lightly decorated and they had the traditional platform [...]

Regarding Aceh and Things


Well, the trip to Aceh was quite an experience – overall not that bad but a lot of deja vu. First, about the trip up – traffic was absolutely horrible and there was a big accident on the freeway. The trip to the airport took 2.5 hours – and I missed my flight [...]

Moving Forward


This will be a relatively short blog today – I spent most of my morning working on the Christmas vacation pics. I have now typed in titles, captions, and explanations – so it should make a little bit more sense. Next step on the pics will be the house – please be patient [...]

Opera Wrap-up


Going to the Opera was a very interesting event. After a bunch of scurrying around on Saturday getting ready … intermixed with Thasya having modelling practice (in preparation for next week’s show) and Chely taking the ACT … all the girls were able to get to the salon and get their hair done.
