• A Writer’s Retreat

  This is a treat of a retreat. Back in August, I won a two-nights stay at a hotel in Georgetown from winning a couple awards at the Short & Sweet Theatre Festival. Now as I have a week off of work, I’m taking these days and turning it into a writer’s retreat. Here’s some views…

• Another Penang Post

  I’ve kind of become somewhat of a Penang junkie, in case you didn’t know. Here’s another link you can check out. A tongue-in-cheek list of 9 reasons why you shouldn’t visit Penang: http://greatermalaysia.com/2015/09/30/9-reasons-why-you-should-never-visit-penang/ I’ll add a few of my own photos as well.

• Remembering a Musical: A Woman at War

  I was recently reminded that my short WWII musical -“A Woman at War” – had its debut one year ago this week at Short & Sweet Musical Kuala Lumpur 2014. It’s a moving piece of musical theatre about a woman on the home front trying to live life while her new husband is overseas. For…

• Rain

  Love the rainstorms here in Penang. At the moment, this is what it looks like outside my house. Massive puddle forming in the front yard from all the roof run-off. See all those plants, including the California palm, that’s my wife’s work. I mow the grass. Certainly not on days like this. Here’s another view.…

• Only in Malaysia

  I’ll categorize this night as “Only in Malaysia.” I took my wife out for dinner tonight as is often our Friday night routine. We went to a small Italian restaurant which we occasionally go to. The parking lot is in a small plaza just up the road from the restaurant. As I was ready to…

• Short & Sweet Theatre Penang 2015

  Backstage before dress rehearsal tonight. I got my annual orange name tag – this year as playwright and director. And I meant to get a couple photos of dress rehearsal, but it seems I was too busy watching the performance. Nine different plays are taking the stage this year. Quite  an eclectic mix of material.…

• The Most Envious Work View in the World

  I’m a teacher. I have, perhaps, the most scenic view of any teacher in the world right out my classroom window. I daily remind myself not to take this view for granted. Not many people in the world can claim such beauty from the chair where they work. So let me me show you what…

• Great Little Things About Malaysia: 1

  I wrote two recent posts about little things in America that I particularly enjoyed this past trip: parking lots & free water in restaurants. As I returned to Malaysia a couple days ago, I immediately was hit with an example of a great little thing about Malaysia: car mechanics. I’ve never had a great car…
