Ambition is the immoderate desire for power.

Oh really?

Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.

Hobart in the Winter. Geilston Bay. July 2013. Sunday Top Five ? TODAY'S Sunday Top Five? How about The Five Things I've Heard About All This Week ? Minecraft. Zombies. Minecraft. Moshi Monsters. Minecraft.

There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who walk into a room and say, 'There you are' and those who say, 'Here I am'.

Ezra managed 4.5 kms in a couple of hours strolling. A good effort.

Life has to be given a meaning because of the obvious fact that it has no meaning.

... [Groping for metaphor.] ...

A girl asked you: What is poetry?

Flammable. Fossil Cove Drive, Tinderbox. December 2012. Still warm down here in Tasmania. A heat-wave , if you will. Before you lot stuck snowbound up at the top end of the world get too jealous let me remind you of bushfires, sticky nights and smelly buses... She Asked You , Vladimir Holan A girl asked you: What is poetry? You wanted to say to her: You are too, ah yes, you are and that in fear and wonder, which prove the miracle, I'm jealous of your beauty's ripeness, and because I can't kiss you nor sleep with you, and because I have nothing and whoever has nothing to give must sing... But you didn't say it, you were silent and she didn't hear the song.

No one can be good for long if goodness is not in demand.

Big stride Hen. Big stride.

I thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out; and I thought how it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in.

How about that for a state of the art grandstand?

Always do whatever's next.

Stuck!

We should often blush for our very best actions, if the world did but see all the motives upon which they were done.

Waiting for something to happen. Intercity Cycleway, Cornelian Bay. October 2012. More questions, this time Sunday Stealing's Who Are you? Part 2–The Grown Up Meme ! Would you survive in prison? I'm quite certain that I wouldn't enjoy it very much, but I am aware of the odd trick to keep up appearances and pass the time. Will you keep your last name when you get married? I already did! When you look into the past, what do you miss most? Youth! Do you feel like you’ve lived this day a hundred times before? I think I have! Do you wear your shoes in the house? Only very rarely. I'm a bare feet kind of fellow. Happiness is a ________? Delusion. If anyone came to your house on your "lazy days" what would ya'll do? Bolt the door and hide. What are you naturally good at? Soliloquising. What irritates you most on the internet? The incivility of many. What is worth the pain? Bone marrow transplants (if needed). Transplanting marrow ...

A prudent question is one-half of wisdom.

Something about surfing. Clifton Beach, October 2012. As you know, the Internet is a wonderful place filled with the rich and varied treasures of the world holds (and RSS feeds.) The following are some things that I've had a look at in the last week. I call this: a Compendium of Click-throughs for Monday Morning... Why the rich look down on the poor. Australia’s unlucky parliaments... E tsy, Folksy and the mania for making crafts. Australian inventions I hope that Ezra does not get into this extreme mountain-biking ...

The trouble with our age is all signposts and no destination.

You heard. Corneilean Bay, Hobart. October 2012. Wordless Wednesday.

Every man has three characters - that which he exhibits, that which he has, and that which he thinks he has.

BUNYIP!

First ask yourself: What is the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept it. Then proceed to improve on the worst.

Guess what Ezra's eyes are drawn to...?

You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.

Ezra leads us a merry dance...

A civilized society is one which tolerates eccentricity to the point of doubtful sanity.

Apple juice. Tasty and refreshing. Plenty of natural phenols - chlorogenic acid, flavan-3-ols, flavonols - uou name it, it has it! Don't forget the procyanidins. Who am I kidding? Like you'd ever forget the procyanidins!

Monkeys are superior to men in this: when a monkey looks into a mirror, he sees a monkey.

Even though it sometimes feels like it is still about, we're not missing Winter.

Change your life today. Don't gamble on the future, act now, without delay.

This was taken just before Ezra decided that wearing shorts at zero degrees Celsius on a cold Sunday morning was decidedly not something that he approved of...

There is no glory in battle worth the blood it costs.

Winter. St David's Park, Hobart. July 2012. I better rush out today's Top Five before the Limpicks run out of time (they are still going on, aren't they?). Anyway, in no particular order, My Top Five Official Olympic Logos That Are All A Damn Sight Better Than The Incestuous Monstrosity This Year!
