It seems like a life time since I was on here last.
Time drifts. I'm now a permanent resident in this land of sun, sea and sand. The heat recently has been too much even for me. A week of 40+ temperatures and then a deluge of rain. Of course, I had to be outside leaving a business meeting when the rain came down. Back...

I don't believe years are for or against you. I believe you make your own luck. The universe can throw some pretty hard curve balls at you and you roll with the punches. Never give up and never give in.

Christmas eve temperature drop in Sydney? Calls for tweed!
OK. So I'm not Rambo, I don't ooze testosterone and in all honesty I wouldn't want to. Today was weird. Me and the little fella wore kilts as we were descended on by my lady's extended family. Of course Australian pleasantries were traded off about how I was wearing a skirt blah blah, but the funniest moment was when I came upstairs in the house
