The world of knowledge takes a crazy turn when teachers themselves are taught to learn.

Peek through the rails. From the Tasman Bridge, looking south. September 2012. So it is Tuesday, which usually means stealing from Sunday. This week: The 88 Meme, Part Three ! 46. What are your LEGAL initials? K.J.M. 47. Who's the first B in your contacts? Ben is. 48. When was the last time you laughed really hard? After a thoroughly unkind impression that I did of someone else. My laughter was in response of someone else’s response, for the record, not my own performance. 49. Your number 1 top friend walks out of your life, do you go after them? Absolutely. 50. Explain your last awkward moment? Failing to explain a relatively straightforward concept to someone after three of four good tries. It was only awkward in the sense that someone’s stupidity was very clearly exposed to a roomful of people (who all immediately grasped the point). 51. Are you afraid of the dark? No. Sometimes I have found myself afraid of the things that might be lurking in the dark ...

Dude trying to get to a ship. Bellerive Beach, Bellerive. September 2011. One day that will be Ezra and I in that kayak, with Henry and Jen close behind trying to splash us. Of course, we won't accept that kind of carry on and will utilise a few of the old WWII depth charged I bought on E-Bay to unsettle them. Knowing Henry, he'll be be well armed with rocks and Jen will use some of those feminine charms and attempt to distract me (again). In the event of this, we've got our hands on some long-redundant titanium tetrachloride to use as a smoke screen.
