The week is flying by – thanks God !!! Between my normal workload, a ton of meetings (6 formal ones yesterday), and needing/wanting to spend time with Decy talking about current events and issues – seems like I have hardly had time to catch my breath.  Now, it already Thursday and it will be another [...]

Yahoo !!! My lovely bride is home.  Decy arrived in Jakarta on Monday morning.  First she came by the office and we had a quick cup of coffee together.  Then she went over to see Samantha.  Finally, she made it to the house at 2pm.  She worked on unpacking and spending time with Thasya …. [...]

Just a short note primarily to say that Decy is progressing well on her trip back to Jakarta.  So far no major problems, although there was a bit of snow in Chicago.  She is now in Singapore and her flight to Jakarta leaves in about 1 hr 45 minutes.  So far, she is awake and [...]

My head is spinning from this cold.  I think I am slowly making progress on the fight against my cold.  But, I’m still getting only 3-5 hours sleep a night.  I must get some rest this weekend.  I will be very glad when Decy comes home – she is now in Dallas and leaves on [...]

Its been quite some time since I had to fight a flu bug.  Haven’t yet figured out if I am winning or losing.  While I know that my stress and fatigue have contributed to the slow recovery time - I can’t really say that is what caused it.  A gazillion people in the office have come [...]

The first time that Decy ever ate crawfish was in 2002 when she came to visit me in Houston right before I transferred to Angola.  Since that time we have never been back in Texas or Louisiana during crawfish season.  Thus, for years Decy has been asking me when she can eat crawfish again.  Now [...]

Sadly, I continue moving forward on only 3-4 hours sleep each night.  Thanks God it is now Friday.  If I can decouple my mind tonight …. then I should be able to get some sleep over the weekend.  I have a lot of work to do here at home, including working on my income taxes, but at [...]

We have closed the accounting books for January.  It was imperative that we finish the close on Tuesday, which we did – although we were about 9 hours later than we had wanted to be.  Overall, it was a good close (given that it was the first one with the SAP system) albiet a hard one.  [...]

What a weekend !!!  Worked until 1145pm on Friday on the accounting close.  Stole 5 hours sleep and resumed work at the office until 1130am.  All appears to be going well and we are about 50% complete with the close process.  Today will be a major milestone day.  All going well – we are done [...]

Had yet another very long day at the office.  Nothing like two 17.5 hr days back-to-back, not including commute and other stuff (like eating, bathing, and blogging).  I am hanging in there.  We hit a major milestone on Friday night at about 1130 pm and we are pretty excited that things are “on track”.  Today [...]
