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.

Lost inside an adorable illusion and I cannot hide, I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside, we could've made it cruising, yeah.

Yes it is Theme Thusday again, and today we are talking GLASS . I've three possible hooks to hang my [glass] hat on with this theme. First, the photo! Yes, it is the river again from an odd angle in an interesting light. You can just make out the bottom, which should tell you that I'm right on the shore. In some ways, the distortion of the stones below the surface reminds me of ye olde glass windows, what they call "cylinder blown sheet glass". You can still find some of this around Hobart these days. Thw second link comes from a trip I took to Venice a few years back. You're probably aware that Venice was (is?) a glass-making centre of excellence. If you have ever been there and taken the tour of the glass factories, you might be familiar with the sheer amount of coloured glass that sits at the bottom of the water there. These fragments of glass have been worn down and had their edges dulled by their time in the water, which makes them ample keepsakes for the ...

Hold me now, oh hold me now, until this hour has gone around. And I'm gone on the rising tide, to face Van Dieman's Land

Theme Thursday again, and this one is rather easy. I am Tasmanian, you see, and aside from being all around general geniuses - as I have amply described previously - we are also very familiar with the concept of WATER. Tasmania is the ONLY island state of an ISLAND continent. That means, we're surrounded by WATER. That should help explain why I take so many photographs of water . Tasmania was for a long time the place where the British (an island race terrified of water) sent their poor people most vile and horrid criminals. The sort of folk who would face the stark choice of a death sentence , or transportation to the other end of the world. Their catalogue of crimes is horrifying : stealing bread assault stealing gentlemen's handkerchiefs drunken assault being poor affray ladies being overly friendly with gentlemen for money hitting people having a drink and a laugh public drunkenness being Irish Fenian terrorist activities being Catholic religious subversion. ...

Happy anniversary baby, got you on my mind

No it is not a webcam, but this photograph was taken a mere forty-five ago on my way in to work. Here you can see a good old fashioned Hobart autumn morning, with the rain pelting down and me getting drenched. This one was taken on the corner of Macquarie and Elizabeth, while I was waiting for the lights to change. Come on Ampelmännchen ! Today is my wedding anniversary, an apparently I need to be showering Jen with leather -related goodies. Va-va-vaVOOM! To you Jennifer, here is a poem I wrote this very morning. Anniversary I love you i love you iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou I LOVE you I love YOU iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou I LOVE YOU iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou Happy anniversary
