Sorry folks – can’t blog this morning.  I have a bunch of things I need to get done before leaving for work.  All is fine here …..

First the good news – Today (Wed, 31-Oct) is Thasya’s birthday.  She’s now 14 YO.  Seems like it was only yesterday when I first met her in 2001.  She was very small, shy, afraid of many things, unable to speak English.  She is quite the opposite now in many ways.  Tonight we will have a [...]

Still trying to figure out the numbers …. but, for the avoidance of doubt – all is fine right now …. other than a few glitches on the laptop that I need work on.

David and Janet Lofquist (our US friends currently working in Sakhalin Russia) are here.  In a few minutes I take them to the airport.  They will go sailing and snorkeling for 12 days then return on Friday the 9th … spend the weekend with us then … and go back to Russia.
In the meantime, a [...]

This is a short blog again (sorry) as I have much work to do – have to work on the controls catalog for work.  I’m very glad its Friday – its been one of those weeks.  Unfortuntely, I will work at day Saturday (at home).  But then, in the evening go pick up some friends [...]

Have to do some work this morning to try to begin ironing out a problem at work …. and need to use the next hour to get started …. so here it is 434am and “time to go to work”.
All is fine.  I will try to blog tomorrow.
Ciao ciao

First, with regards to Chris.  He went to the hospital yesterday for a quick follow-up – prognosis was that nothing “severe” was going to happen right away.  Today (Wed) he goes to another Dr.  Guess he went off of his new med’s – not sure what he will take in the future.  Sorry – that [...]

As you may know, Decy had braces installed about a month ago.  It is a rather painful situation and also creates eating challenges.  But, Decy knows she needs to do this so that there is room for some implants in a few years.  Behind the metal braces (next to the teeth) are these little plastic [...]

After a couple of months of weekend running on the treadmill I finally broke 15kms in 100 minutes  – which is quite a feat for a turtle.  I am clearly not a runner and VERY clearly not a good runner.  I have a tendency to just plod along.  But, for those who are interested …. [...]

What an emotional roller coaster this week.  Things finally started normalizing yesterday.  However, I still don’t feel good about this week.  I did not accomplish nearly as much as I wanted to.  I still have to work some this weekend.  I still am way behind.  I still see a nightmare year 2008 coming – it [...]
