Lots going on. Aside from my normal work I am also deeply mired in the re-design of my company’s website. The current website was supposed to be a temporary measure, but that was almost 2 years ago now. 

Somehow, I think it is a little sad that a web design company like mine has to have such an ugly website. But that is what happens when all of your time is spent making great sites for other people.  But I have finally forced myself to set aside the time and the manpower to create the new site.  And it will be one that I can be very proud of. 

Aside from work I have been trying to spend more time with my boys.  But that hasn’t been as successful as I would hope.  During the week I am lucky if I get to see them for two minutes before I have to rush out the door.  Normally by the time I get home they are already asleep.  Weekends are a mixed bag. I get to spend a little more time with them but a lot of my time is still spent working in my home office.

Speaking of my boys, I picked up their American passports the other day.  They are now officially American citizens.  I don’t know how long it will be before they get the chance to go to the United States, but the thought of transporting 2 eight-month old babies on a 14 hour flight seems like a very difficult thing to me.  I will probably have to wait until they are a little older.

In a couple days is Thanksgiving. Of course it isn’t really celebrated here, but there are a few restaurants where American expats will gather for what passes as a traditional Thanksgiving meal here. But the food doesn’t really matter that much.  It is the chance to be around friends and people who share a common culture with you for a little while.  You would be surprised just how much that can mean sometimes.

Anyway, enough of these boring random thoughts.  It is time for me (and probably you) to get back to work.
