Never shop when you're hungry, never sleep when you're angry, and never type when you're tired.

I was just remembering how beautiful autumn can be.

I miss seasons.

I look forward to rediscovering the colors and smells of a September morning. I've told Emily, the kids and my students about the long walks. How difficult to communicate the long moments spent admiring the golds,reds and greens and browns. To feel the last warmth of the year on your face. To stare unashamedly into clear autumn skies. To breath deep of the cooling breeze. To taste greedily of the clean air. How to explain looking up at the sky and knowing that this brief, transitory experience has to be embraced and then tucked safely away as winter's approach is heralded in the ever-darkening skies.

Except for a couple of riots, Surabaya, at least, has been quiet. On Monday, Tuesday, and especially during Habibie's visit on Wednesday, traffic was nuts. Most of the so-called rioting was done by highschool students. The action consisted of stone throwing,jumping into and out of trucks, running in the street and shouting obscenities at the passing army convoys. Basically it was a field trip for students in the Stupidity 101 program.

Emily and I just returned from Tretes a few minutes ago. We were actually at a church retreat. I didn't burst into flames as I entered church property so I suppose my soul is safe for the moment. It was nice. It was quite relaxing. By some miracle of divine intervention, or just dumb luck, the God Squad didn't attempt to lure me into their ranks. Emily has been very understanding about my quiet time. She knows that I believe. She doesn't understand why I feel no overwhelming need to wave my hands in the air and scream "GOD IS GREAT!"

Personally, I think the big guy knows the score, and flattery ain't gonna help if you screw up.

The movie
After some deliberations and some deep soul-searching I have decided �What the heck!


Here�s a link to the movie script. Caveat.


The Movie This is fiction. Although the underlying themes and feelings are based on real events this story,these characters, do not represent Indonesian society, Indonesian women,men or the strict chronological order of events.


In some aspects the story came out of my experiences in South Korea which predated my time in Indonesia.


Anyway,read it. Enjoy it. Comment on it. Let�s get a deal and produce it.
