Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it.


Here is the little bloke letting everybody know what he thinks about this thing we call "solids".

In conjunction with Henry, Ezra and Jennifer, I've come to a decision.

There is something terribly liberating about making an important decision. Often, such decisions seem far more difficult than they actually are, and when you stop for a moment, clear your head and have a good hard think about it, it’s then you realise that in reality, it’s actually one of the easiest decisions you’ve had before you...

Is your decision something to do with work? Would it be something to do with perhaps...NOT working where you are anymore?
I would think that would be very liberating decision to make if you were not happy where you worked!

Ah, finally, another baby! I'm hoping for twin girls, actually. For balance.

I hope it was to hire body guards for that cute kid!

That is the best picture of Ezra yet. Though I can't figure out why he looks so perky after all those sleepless nights ...

So, what was Ezra's comments about solid? What are his thoughts on the other states of matter :-D?

Sue, it always gets back to work when we think about unhappiness...

Elaine, I'm still suffering post-traumatic shock from Henry. No, I'm not sure that more babies is on my agenda.
Kris McCracken said…
Colette, he can handle himself okay.

Jackie, Ezra's constant smiling is one of life's real mysteries...

KL, Ez is very supportive of solids. He endorsed the pancakes I made this morning.

Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it...

I still have the robot on the job. Here you can see the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery . And here is a poem: Soliloquy for One Dead Bruce Dawe Ah, no, Joe, you never knew the whole of it, the whistling which is only the wind in the chimney's smoking belly, the footsteps on the muddy path that are always somebody else's. I think of your limbs down there, softly becoming mineral, the life of grasses, and the old love of you thrusts the tears up into my eyes, with the family aware and looking everywhere else. Sometimes when summer is over the land, when the heat quickens the deaf timbers, and birds are thick in the plumbs again, my heart sickens, Joe, calling for the water of your voice and the gone agony of your nearness. I try hard to forget, saying: If God wills, it must be so, because of His goodness, because- but the grasshopper memory leaps in the long thicket, knowing no ease. Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it... I like Bruce Dawe. He just my be my favourite Austral...

There was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong.

Here is a self portrait. I’m calling it Portrait of a lady in a dirty window . Shocking, isn’t it? However, it is apt! Samhain , Nos Galan Gaeaf , Hop-tu-Naa , All Saints , All Hallows , Hallowmas , Hallowe'en or HALLOWEEN . It’s Theme Thursday and we’re talking about the festivals traditionally held at the end of the harvest season. Huh? No wonder Australians have trouble with the concept of HALLOWEEN. For the record, in my thirty-two L O N G years on the planet, I can’t say I’ve ever seen ghosts ‘n goblins, trick ‘n treaters or Michael Myers stalking Tasmania’s streets at the end of October. [That said, I did once see a woman as pale as a ghost turning tricks that looked like Michael Myers in late November one time.] Despite the best efforts of Hollywood, sitcoms, and innumerable companies; it seems Australians are impervious to the [ahem] charms of a corporatized variant of a celebration of the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darke...

In dreams begin responsibilities.

A life at sea, that's for me, only I just don't have the BREAD. That's right, Theme Thursday yet again and I post a photo of a yacht dicking about in Bass Strait just off Wynyard. The problem is, I am yet again stuck at work, slogging away, because I knead need the dough . My understanding is that it is the dough that makes the BREAD. And it is the BREAD that buys the yacht. On my salary though, I will be lucky to have enough dough or BREAD for a half dozen dinner rolls. Happy Theme Thursday people, sorry for the rush.
