There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision.


This one is from way back in early-May, as Ezra decided to tackle the gruelling ultra marathon-esque Mother's Day Classic (FOUR excruciatingly difficult kilometres of terrain).

Somewhat typically, Ez opted to take a back seat, leaving Henry to take the glory in the prime role. I like to think of Ezra as Friedrich Engels to Henry's Karl Marx.

Do either of your children aspire to politicism? Or will this remain your domain?
I can see that Ezra may have been hatching some scheme that may or may not have included big brother Henry.
Let me know if Ezra was implicated in any uprising on the day!

Ezra seems deep thinking!!!!
It is hard to believe but in the past few weeks, there has been considerable transformation in Ez's expressions. I really find it amusing to go through the older photographs on the blog along with the new ones that you keep posting.

God bless him and Henry, who are my two most favourite kids outside India.

And yes, I see a scratch on his left eyelid, did Ez hurt himself? or was it some sibling love shown by dear Henry?

Roddy, I am not a politician.

One planet, that sounds like a euphemism.

Kavita, I like the sound of that!

Yamini, Ez is now screaming at odd intervals. With a big grin.
Kris McCracken said…
Yamini, that was self-inflicted.

Doctorate in political science bodes of politicism. If I'm not mistaken.
Kris McCracken said…
Roddy, the science, not practice.

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
