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...

Me, only notebook computers for me.
OK, what is sweet Henry REALLY looking at?
When I was in Sydney Dean, 5, was just learning the keyboard. That's before he learned how to write. I can't wait to get his first e-mail message.
Soon enough Henry will probably have a blog of his own. Wonder what he'll say about Dad.
You might not know anything, but just interested to know if there is anything in the air there about the World Cup? I really wanted to go to Australia right now to see it, but could not :-( :-(....We are having a week holiday here what is known as spring break. So, I could have gone there for a week now but the air-ticket and the hotel everything is so costly that I could not :-(.....How Extraordinarily sad...
It will probably be about the moon. Everything as about the moon around these parts at the moment.
I've not heard much about the World Cup, other than someone floating the idea of playing the Pakistan games here.
I don't like Twitter.
The Women's cricket world cup is now going on in Australia and there is nothing in the air!!!?? :-( :-(:-(....well, I guess no one cares about us and our sports.
I am trying to follow it by visiting cricinfo constantly and thus I know Aussie women got defeated by Kiwis in their opening game, but there is no fun in trying to get cricket info by reading and not watching the game or listening to first hand experiences.
Tasmania doesn't have a team in the national competition (as with many sports), so we probably lack interest even more so.
I have endeavoured to find news of it in the various papers and TV news, but alas, if it doesn't feature short skirts or bikinis, it seems that they are not interested.
