It has been a very busy two weeks in Cirebon. I went to Jakarta two weekends ago(more on that later) and since then I've had my picture in the newspaper, and today (Friday) I have a radio interview to do. It's a very slow news day in Cirebon when they want to talk with me!
The picture in the paper is because Tasha won 2nd place at the National EF (English First) Spelling Bee. The reporter (perhaps 10 years old?) came to the school and interviewed Tasha. He then took a pic. The picture reminds me of Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's travels with the Lilliputans. I appear very tall, blocking part of the school sign, while Regina and Tasha appear rather short.
Our season has also changed. We've gone from sunny hot humid days, to rainy, cloudy, hot humid days. The noticeable differences in the seasonal change are 1) whether my laundry will dry or mold first and 2) new creatures are inhabiting the dwelling. I now have frogs in my humble abode. In fact, the other night at 2:00 a.m. I got up to use the bathroom. As usual, I turn on the light and check out all nooks and crannies. There next to the hole/toilet was a frog. I looked at him, he looked at me and I realized I was not going to fight a frog for a hole in the ground. So back to bed I went with a full bladder. He or a relative have also taken up residence in my living room area. When I leave the house in the morning, there are a number of them in my yard, but so far none of them are singing!

OMG! You can have Marky with you, he would love this, not me. Oh and I thought when you come home I am signing you up for the Survivor show. I know you would win.
