Welcome

Welcome to Roy-Mark.Com.  I created this site in the summer of 2002  for several reasons.  The reason that I usually give is that I wanted to establish a means of communication with family and friends around the world.  Additionally, but rarely stated was my desire to learn how to accomplish that feat.  In the process, I learned that the learning process is ongoing. 

Through this website I have made contact with family members scattered around the country.  The emails have come in from Alabama, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, Washington State and Washington D.C.  Numerous old friends too have found this site and sent emails.  It is always a pleasure opening an email from a long lost friend or relative. 

I retired  from Atlantic Richfield Indonesia Inc., (ARCO) at the end of 1993.   I began retirement by staying on in Jakarta, Indonesia for one year.  Since then, I returned to Plano, Texas for two and a half years; back to Jakarta for two years; Yogyakarta, Indonesia for two years; and now over ten years in Chiang Mai, Thailand.  Retirement has been, and continues to be fun!

I grew up in  Louisiana, but most of my working years were spent in other states or countries. The places where I spent the most time are: New Orleans; Houston; Plano, Texas; Jakarta, and Yogyakarta, Indonesia. I moved from Yogyakarta to Chiang Mai in  2001. 

Over the years I visited 28 countries in South America, Europe, the Middle East, and  Asia.  One of those countries, South Viet Nam, no longer exist; Hong Kong has returned to China; and the Indonesian Province of Timor Timur is now the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste (East Timor).  

To all of my friends and acquaintances who may find this site, I bid you a hardy "Selamat Datang" and "Sawasdee Krup" (Welcome).

 

Thanks for your visit.  
Ya'll come back real soon now you hear?

What's New

You can't put your arms around a memory, and it is almost as hard to comprehend the significance of the trillions of dollars the government is increasing the debt.  I found a great video on Youtube that simplifies the numbers in a way that makes it easier of us average folks to comprehend.  The producer of the video compares spending to a road-trip in which he coverts dollars spent  to miles, and years to hours, so that the result is looking at the the rate of debt increase in terms of miles per hour.  The results are very interesting and quite revealing.  I hope you find the video enjoyable and educational.
