Every year the Maryknoll Society has a meeting of its members from Asia South, a grouping of countries which have only a small number of priests and brothers in each. Click here to see the trip from Cambodia to the meeting place in Bangkok.
Today the schedule of activities was changed to move an awards ceremony and evaluation to the evening so the staff could go to the beach in the morning when the sun was out and there was no rain. Click here for pictures from the day.
I confused myself and forgot to put up this last post about the last day in Kentucky and the return trip to Phnom Penh. Click here to learn more.
Yesterday I was mostly at my sister’s house doing some work. Today I was mostly on the road all day. Click here to see some of stops I made.

Today the main focus was on a gathering of the Charles-and-Martha Dittmeier children–and their children and grandchildren—for an easy-going pleasant Sunday afternoon together. Click here for some scenes from the day.
The MKLM board met for a half day and then at noon I headed for JFK airport and the flight to Louisville, Kentucky to visit my family. Click here for scenes from the day.
Today was the full day of board meetings which were held at the Maryknoll seminary building. Click here to see the activities of the day.
Well…. A congruence of impediments has kept me from posting here since last Monday. The first few days it was lack of time. Then I left my camera in New York with the photos I wanted to post here. And then, on the road back, I tried to post and found that some security functions didn’t recognize my newer laptop and wouldn’t give me access to my own website. Now I’m finally back in Kentucky and will give a quick post today and a fuller one tomorrow using the few pictures that I have on my phone since my camera didn’t accompany me to Cambodia. This picture is in my room where the temperature was 34ºC when I walked in Friday afternoon. That’s 93ºF. When I was in the States, both New York and Kentucky were in the 60s and 70s which was so nice…
Arrghh…. I finished the Maryknoll Lay Missioners board meeting Saturday at noon and then flew to Louisville, Kentucky to visit my family–leaving my camera with all the photos in my room at Maryknoll. I will try to provide some text for those days and then see if the helpful people at Maryknoll are able to send my camera to me by courier before I leave on Wednesday. More on that to come!
These two days were used for a variety of meetings and contacts and things like washing clothes. Click here for some pictures.
