Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together.


Look! Hairy Henry is trying to explain the possibility of life on Mars to Ezra.

If it were me, I'd just give him a copy of Hunky Dory, some eyeliner and spandex pants and be done with it!

This is what I have been waiting for. The tremendous two standing side by side, no strings, no props, nothing. They look magnificent. These two babies are on their way to great things. All they need is encouragement.
Thank you Jen. Thank you Kris. Thank you Henry and Ezra. Thank you.
Francey can you see our babies?

I am still so amazed at how steady Ezra is on his feet. The poise of a future dignitary.
Priyanka Khot said…
I agree with Roddy. Ezra has such a firm hold on the ground. And Henry is always busy with something or the other. The two are adorable.

Ezra is doing well, he's standing so straight. Henry must be an inspiration.
Kris McCracken said…
Roddy, he is a good walker now.

Sue, making ‘em was easy. Raising them, less so.
Kris McCracken said…
Yoork, it isn’t as interesting as you might imagine...
Kris McCracken said…
Priyanka, they never EVER stop.
Kris McCracken said…
Valerie, it certainly hasn’t hurt!

You have accepted the challenge my son. Your responsibility is to ensure that their future is positive.

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.
