Old Man Morgan

Yesterday was a day absolutely full of meetings … one big one beginning at 8am. After ending around 4pm I am working away in my office. Suddenly, things don’t feel quite right – not sure what is going on – very subtle. Then, I notice that my mini-blinds are “creaking”. EARTHQUAKE [...]

After essentially a full day at Pondok Indah Hospital, test results – the doctor has confirmed / reconfirmed that Decy has high cholesterol. This is the 3rd time over the years that the doctors have said this. They gave her a 10mg/day Lipitor subscription – and she began taking them last night. [...]

… as I really don’t have a lot to say. Work was “work” and there is nothing special to write about on that.
On a personal note, please keep Decy in your thoughts and prayers – she seems to be having a problem with cholesterol and is going to have some blood work done today. [...]

What is the distance in kilometers that I slogged thru on Sunday? Answer: 18.8 kms with about 10 kms on a small 1% grade. I wasn’t really feeling very “strong” on Sunday and wasn’t sure how my weekly treadmill run would go … thus, I started out very slow … more like [...]

Yesterday (Wednesday) was one of those nice quiet days at work where I got to work on the things that I wanted to work on. With 80% or more of the folks on holidays it was incredibly quiet and I probably only received about 5 work related emails – and no phone calls. [...]

Yesterday was a very quiet and very enjoyable day. Never went anywhere. Never really did anything big. But, we spent a very nice quiet day at home (recall we had a long 4-day holiday weekend). First, after staying up watching TV until 230 am on Monday night, Decy and I slept [...]

Soooo … did you miss me? I think my mom did. Sorry for the lapse – as mentioned, we have a long weekend in Indonesia and I slept in every day. That messed up my normal morning routine – and then I got caught up in other things and forgot to blog. [...]

The end of the Ramadhan fasting month is nearly here and will be either Sunday or Monday depending on the “sighting of the moon.” With the end comes Idul Fitri with the giving of sacrifices (by Muslims) and much celebration and visitation to family members. Millions of people will go to their home [...]

Sometimes I would just like to give up on work. While I fully recognize every day is a new day … new challenges … new work tasks … it would just be so nice for (every once in a while) to not have a crisis or major project staring me in the face. I am [...]

On Friday I took a day of vacation so that I could spend more time with Decy (on her birthday). At about 6am I heard my blackberry pinging and I was getting urgent questions and requests that needed immediate attention. Thus, I had to get up and take care of those issues. Finally I crawled [...]
