Hey all. I thought I'd make a quick post to let you know that everything is fine here in Singapore. The earthquakes in Indonesia and Tonga and Samoa this week were really pretty far from where we are.
Singapore is very much in the middle of a plate and far removed from the faults where the Earthquakes occur (see the map below from the Wall Street Journal)

Also, Singapore is pretty sheltered by Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines from any Tsunami-type activity. The seas around here are very calm (one of the reasons Singapore is such a nice shipping hub).
Anyway, please use your thoughts and prayers for those in Indonesia and the Pacific Islands, and know that all's well here. Our puppy is growing and somehow finding more reserves of energy and follows us wherever we go. Kate's really busy at work, and we're finally making progress with my work. All around things are going well.
Miss you all!
Thanks Adam. This explanation makes me feel better.
