Welcome to Sunday Summary, the meme in which I attempt to summarize the week that came before. This was a more of a "stampy" week than I have had in quite some time, with a few blogs that reflect my philatelic pursuits. I also got a new job for a new company. Somewhat ironically, the … Continue reading Sunday Summary #11

The End of an Era
Today, I received the news that the teaching agency which I have worked at since early July 2011 would be unable to renew the contracts it holds with area schools. One of the more ridiculous aspects of the Thai education system is that the agencies -- those companies that act as liaison between the schools … Continue reading The End of an Era

Week of 25 September to 1 October 2022 Welcome to Sunday Summary, the meme in which I attempt to summarize the week that came before. I spent most of last week finishing out the first half of the school year up in Phang Nga, giving a whole lot of paper exams. While most of Thailand … Continue reading Sunday Summary #7
Sunday Summary #6
Welcome to Sunday Summary, the meme in which I attempt to summarize the week that came before. Most of the time, I put together these weekly summaries in the late evening hours on Sunday but this time I have begun at the crack of dawn. Later today, I will head to the bus terminal to … Continue reading Sunday Summary #6
Sunday Summary #4
Welcome to Sunday Summary. This is a meme in which I attempt to summarize the week that came before.

The weather is still a bit unstable but we saw more sun than rain over the past … Continue reading Sunday Summary #4

Phuket Weekly 2022 #6 (09-13 February)
This will be a VERY BRIEF post as I only took two photos and NOTHING different happened all week. Well, other than the number of daily cases of COVID-19 in Thailand surged from 10,000 to more than 16,400 yesterday (it's around 15,800 today). I ended up staying at home all week -- teaching online from … Continue reading Phuket Weekly 2022 #6 (09-13 February)
Phuket Weekly 2022 #4 (22-31 January)
Another wholly uneventful week, largely the same as the one previous with a couple of exceptions. First, the teachers returned to our school to continue our online lessons following a week spent doing the same from home.
