Today was a full day of meetings for the Board of Directors of the Maryknoll Lay Missioners. Some recurring issues such as retirements plans for older lay missioners surfaced again–that is an on-going concern in the organization–but there were also new issues to address as the organization adjusts to several new personnel in key positions.

October Trip — Itinerary
It’s taking me a little bit of time to learn WordPress, the content managing software (as they call it) which I am now using for the landing page of my website. I want to be able to create Pages of lasting content, like in my old website, as opposed to Posts like this one. On Thursday I should have some content ready for the first page that is now listed in the sidebar on the right. Click here to see what it looks like now.
On the Road (Monday night)
The trip to the US started Monday evening, 10 October, with a motorcycle taxi ride to the airport at supper time. The roads at that time are (1) jammed with traffic and (2) full of food vendors like these stalls selling roasted chickens, ducks, and fish.
It’s 10:48 PM Tuesday night in New York and I just arrived at Maryknoll. Follow this trip here starting tomorrow.
It’s a Mouthful
One of the givens in translation work in Cambodia or in producing documents in both Khmer and English is that the Khmer document is always going to be much longer than the English. That makes this sign outside the National Council for Solidarity Front for the Development of Cambodia Motherland a bit unusual because the Khmer title appears shorter than the English version. Would anyone like to venture a guess what the NCSFDCM actually does? I haven’t a clue.
