Yuck !! Another 16+ hour day … and another 3 hour (rounded up) night. Thanks God it is Friday …. although I will definitely need to work this weekend (but not as much). Had a good review yesterday but quite a few follow up items came out of the meeting. We [...]

First and foremost, a few hours ago my step-father, Frank, had surgery on his shoulder. I understand that surgery went well. Please keep Frank in your thoughts and prayers. Additionally, my mom, is having some health challenges as most of you know. Please keep her in your prayers too.
Being as we [...]

Today I will start my blog on a personal note.
Today (Wednesday) Decy, Chely, and Thasya will be joining with Samatha, Jordan, and Laverne for a quick trip to Bandung. They are leaving early this morning and will return late tomorrow evening. While there they will visit Tankuban Parahu …. an essentially dormant [...]

This is a getting a bit tiresome …. 14 hours of work on Saturday – came dragging home and couldn’t wake up until 9am and still needed much more sleep. Worked until 1pm then went to the Whitehouse for a “Thanksgiving Dinner”. Had a good time – and Chely, Thasya, Decy were there [...]

Thanks God today is Friday !!! Of course, with needing to work on Saturday that doesn’t mean a whole lot. But at least Saturday’s are much more quiet, phones aren’t ringing off the wall, email volume declines …. and very importantly … I can dress casual at the office. I am really struggling [...]

Wow, hard to believe it is a 3-day weekend here in Jakarta. The weekend started off with the challenge from the bombings on Friday morning – which put a lot of folks on wedge … naturally. Then, from a work perspective it was pretty much the same. On Saturday I was up [...]

For the avoidance of doubt, we are all fine here in Jakarta. None of us were anywhere near the hotels that were bombed. The events are a bit disconcerning for us – obviously – for many reasons. And, this was an unfortunate reminder that we can never be complacent regarding our own [...]

Happy Birthday Joshua Daniel Morgan !!! Hard to believe you are 24 years old. [Of course, that parallels with the fact that I have been employed by the same company for 24 years and 1 month.] I am very proud of you, love you very much … and wish all the success [...]

Last night we (Decy, Chely, Thasya, and I) went out to dinner with the McPhail’s (Terry, Samantha, Courtney, Jordan). We went to a place called Lobster and King Crab. It is an incredible place because of its FRESH food (sitting in tanks waiting to be eaten) and cooking styles. We ordered the [...]
