There's nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child..

Jen leads Ezra a merry dance. Opossum Bay, South Arm Peninsula. December 2012. A very special Christmas Day Sunday Stealing: The Not So Manly Meme 1. Boxers? Briefs? Boxer briefs? Thongs? Bikinis? Commando? I'm on holidays, which means commando! 2. What’s your fussiest personal care routine? I can't say that I have one. Shaving is always a chore, but having a beard is worse. 3. Do you have a favourite tool? Power or manual? A computer. It uses power. 4. Can you change your own oil? Do you? I cook in fresh oil every time. That's what you mean, isn't it? 5. What’s the “manliest / womanliest” thing you do on a regular basis? Manliest? I get a slightly contemptuous feeling any time shows an undue level of emotion. 'Womanliest'? Do you mean 'effeminate'? I'm very clean and I like to cook. 6. What’s something “manly” that you never learned how to do? Drive a car. Or even be even remotely interested in cars in any way. 7. Do you eve...

Do we mean love, when we say love?

Ezra leads Henry... or is it Henry leading Ezra... or is it Jen leading Henry and Ezra. Whatever the case, we're in Richmond and were all headed in the direction of Henry Street , where we like to park the car. Note: still no sign of an 'Ezra Street'.

Disco dancing is just the steady thump of a giant moron knocking in an endless nail.

Off to feed the ducks. And a few geese. As well as the odd native hen.

It's only in hindsight that you realize what indeed your childhood was really like.

Jen and Hen take an evening stroll. Geilston Bay High School, Geilston Bay.

If you look deep enough you will see music; the heart of nature being everywhere music.

Henrifer (Jenry?) await Ezra and I as we dismount the Tasman Bridge ...

Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel man.

Henry and Ezra make their way to school.

Either men will learn to live like brothers, or they will die like beasts.

A pair of wet men come in from the cruel waves with little more than the love of a good woman ice cream on their minds. It’s a simple, but hard, life

They may not mean to, but they do.

A pair o’ ragamuffins tredin’ de tidal flat. Five Mile Beach, February, 2010. I need sunshine. I need a clear blue sky. I need less of this cold. In order to cheer you up, I’ve dug out this fine old Philip Larkin poem. This Be The Verse , Philip Larkin They fuck you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to, but they do. They fill you with the faults they had And add some extra, just for you. But they were fucked up in their turn By fools in old-style hats and coats, Who half the time were soppy-stern And half at one another's throats. Man hands on misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf. Get out as early as you can, And don't have any kids yourself. Oops.

Because of their size, parents may be difficult to discipline properly.

Here you can see [from left to right] Ezra, Henry and Jennifer all auditioning for the lead role in the new remake of That Girl . Personally, I think that Ez has best captured the Marlo Thomas-vibe. Henry is a little too Sally Field in the Flying Nun and Jen far too Mary Tyler Moore to best be that girl .

Certain defects are necessary for the existence of individuality.

Here you can see big brother taking little brother in hand and pointing out the all important Water Taxi as it approached the dock in at Geilston Bay.

To happiness the same applies as to truth: one does not have it, but is in it.

Stick with me mate, and we'll go places...
