Old Man Morgan

Made it thru another day at work – and now, it is July 1 here in Indonesia. That means this year is half over. I have known for a long time that 2008 was going to be a very very tough year. So far, it hasn’t disappointed me. Sadly, the second [...]

Ah, “good old” Monday morning. Interesting that something so unenjoyable happens so often. In fact, it happens once a week, 52 times a year, approx 1,500 times in a working career. Notwithstanding that it is a Monday morning, I did spend a very enjoyable weekend with Decy and Thasya – even if [...]

Thanks God today is Friday. This week has been an absolutely emotional roller coaster ride of emotions. I could never survive without the love and support of Decy. Thanks God she is here. Thanks God she is who she is.
I am trying to support two functions in doing a self assessement [...]

Here it is – Thursday, and not sure what I am going to blog. At this point, about all I know is that my sleep is not in sync with my need. I am coming home stressed; need to sleep; can’t sleep; and then wake up in a grog. This is not [...]

Yowser, yesterday was very frustrating. First, we were several days late getting a response back to our Auditors regarding comments on their draft audit report of our production organization. While I recognize that we (as an organization) have many things going on, I would have thought we could have focused on this one [...]

Well, I’m not sure how she did it … but yesterday Decy was up with me at 330am …. ran errands all day and then went to see her friend Samantha in the afternoon. Then she spent most of the afternoon talking about the house that Samanatha and Terry are moving into … and [...]

Well, Decy has made it back to Indonesia safely and soundly. No real travel issues – just a little stress in Chicago when she rushed to her next gate only to learn (as I SMS’d her) that she had more time than she thought due to a time zone change. he he he.
I [...]

This is definitely a TGIF that I have been looking forward to. Just talked to Decy a few minutes ago. She and Grandma Suzie are at the airport in Newark returning the car. They checked into the hotel about 4 hours ago. In about 14 hours Decy begins the trek back [...]

All good things must come to an end – and for Decy this trip is almost over. On Wednesday she and grandma Suzy drive to New Jersey to catch planes on Thursday – Decy arrives in Jakarta on Saturday morning. I haven’t had a chance to touch base with folks in Connecticut this [...]

Well, it appears that Chely is pretty much all settled in at UCAELI. Yesterday (Monday) she moved into the dorm room, went through orientation, TB test, etc. Classes actually start on Wednesday. She has a student ID card that also acts as a debit card and she can use on campus (similar [...]
