This week is going to be a short week … at least per the calendar – Thursday and Friday are holidays. BUT, workwise, I will be incredibly busy all three (M-W) days and then again over the weekend. Then, on Saturday, Decy and the girls will leave for Bali. Sadly, I cannot [...]

This is just a short blog to let everybody know that I am back in Jakarta – safe and sound. No issues on the flights. Although up at the site, some guy had a heart attack. He had to be airlifted out on our flight. To do that they had to [...]

Finally, Thursday morning … in 11 hours I head to the airport to leave Aceh. I am not going to miss it … sadly, I will be back again in 2 weeks. I think the thing I hate most in the computer access speed – it is so incredibly low (even internal access [...]

I’m beginning to think that I need to bring tranquilizers with me when I come to Aceh. The stress is incredibly high …. computer access and speeds suck and the general understanding of what is / is not important seems to get lost. I often spend 20 minutes trying to open and/or modify [...]

I tried blogging on Monday before leaving for Aceh but kept getting some type of error message. Sooo … no blog. But, here I am now – safe and sound in Aceh once again.

There is a lot going on with Chely – and things continue to move forward. Overnight all of her UCEALI paperwork was processed by the school. And, it is ALREADY enroute to Indonesia via DHL. I even have the tracking number. Tonight I need to go online to Homeland Security and [...]

Yesterday at work was just one of those very frustrating days. Felt like I didn’t accomplish anything worthwhile. Perhaps it was because I couldn’t focus but was thinking about Chely and her trying to enroll in the Intensive English course. Overnight we had heard nothing from the school.
After getting home I got on [...]

I recall when I was a youth and in school they kept talking about “new math”. I heard about it for many years but never figured out what they meant. In fact, I probably still don’t fully understand what they mean when they say NEW math. Guess it was because I never [...]

For over a year we have been working with Chely on trying to select a University for her to attend after graduation. This has been an emotional yo-yo with many extreme ups and downs. I suspect that several times Chely just wanted to give up and quit. And, I know that I [...]
