No man can produce great things who is not thoroughly sincere in dealing with himself.


As some of you may know, I have been blessed by two young sons. As a pair, they are both handsome, sly intelligent, ruthless spirited, despotic driven, arrogant confident, calculating thoughtful, insane exuberant and power-hungry keen to get involved.

One day, hopefully, they will run this country.

Gorgeous boys ...

I notice you are in the Drug and Alcohol field ...I was (and still dabble) a specialist Drug and Alcohol counsellor for a number of years and I'm a sober alcoholic.

Apart from the clothes these two could almost be twins.

Chinese, French, Spanish...
Your current PM speaks multiple languages right?

These boys will take over Rudd one day! hehe...

When is Henry going to have his next hair cut :-D? Had a good laugh looking at Ezra's face. Lovely pic - A pair of Laughing Buddhas could have been the title.

Sarah, I’m endeavouring to locate a way out of the drug and alcohol field!
Kris McCracken said…
Roddy, you must be on drugs.
Kris McCracken said…
Keropok Man, Mr Rudd does speak very good Mandarin, I understand. We try and encourage them to open their mind to different languages.
Kris McCracken said…
KL, I am arguing to leave it a bit, he looks fine and it is not much fun for anyone. They already run the house.
Kris McCracken said…
My {S.T.U.F.F.}, much like their father!
Roddy said…
I already told you. I am on drugs. Only the ones to keep me healthy though. And only in small doses.
Kris McCracken said…
Roddy, you need to lower the dosage.
Sarah Lulu said…
Good idea Kris move out before the field burns you out...

I did ..I'm case managing foster kids now ...I'm obviously insane haha..
Kris McCracken said…
Sarah, I'm in policy now, and that drives you even more bonkers than working with clients!

Roddy said…
Ok, so Ezra needs to grow a bit more hair and add a couple of inches and perhaps a little hair dye but the resemblance is becoming apparent. I am still their proudest Grandfather. I think. Check with Pat.

If you want to be loved, be lovable.

Henry admires the view.

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

Zeal, n. A certain nervous disorder afflicting the young and inexperienced. A passion that goeth before a sprawl.

Here I have tried my hand at the homemade sepia-toned photo. I wasn’t happy with the way that the sun had washed out some of the colours in the original, so had a bit of a fiddle because I like the look on Henry’s face, and didn’t want to pass on posting it. I have a tip for those of you burdened with the great, unceasing weight of parenthood. I have a new recipe, in the vein of the quick microwaved chocolate cake . Get this, microwaved potato chips . I gave them a run on Sunday, Henry liked the so much I did it again last night. Tonight, I shall be experimenting with sweet potato. I think that the ground is open for me to exploit opportunities in the swede, turnip, carrot and maybe even explore in the area of pumpkins. Radical, I know. I’m a boundary-pusher by nature. It's pretty simple, take the potato. Slice it thinly (it doesn't have to be too thin, but thin enough). Lay the slices on the microwave plate, whack a bit of salt over the top and nuke the buggers for five minut
