I went to Australia when I was in 8th grade (1989). I remember the sounds of the kookabura. I'm currently watching my cat get all worked up about some sparrow's on the neighbor's roof. The houses here are pretty close together, so he's totally freaking out. Wonder what he'd do if a kookabura was out there.

Kookaburra seets een the ol' gum tree-ee...

Well, I have to change the offer I made of my first born son a few pages back.
He now has a job (parttime) with the Tacoma Symphony as 3rd horn (that's his favorite part, the bass) so he is no longer unemployed. So perhaps he is now a better catch? please send detailed resumes to me.. hey, he's even thinking of buying a car!!


Congrats fishddr on the job, please NO MORE KILLER BEES. I think you guys just have to teach the italian honeybees how to wash better..

and Kitsune, good luck on the job interview. I hope the interviewer is younger than me because most people my age get their eyes crossed when we see piercings (and we can see those "flesh colored inserts" in the ears.)
Fact of the matter is, unless they are an idiot, your resume and presence should speak for itself.


Beta, about that back, you need to get back to your CORE exercises; but hopefully a good night will fix it. The same has happened to me.

Today was the first wet-ish commute we've had.
It is so strange hearing from our crazycanuck about the days getting lighter, while today I was spooked because it was so dark when i was getting ready to leave the house for work. I have a great light on my forehead (on my helmet) but the darn thing isn't strong enough to show me the small stones
on the road and other hidden hazards.

i know that song! my stepmom had an australian theme that she teaches her 1st and 2nd graders all about austraila. thats one of the songs she teaches them. now i'm going to have that song stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

yeah, we learned that in school too, several decades ago.
It made Australia sound so romantic.

There's a post up in Open, called We Need Your Help, about somebody's kid that wants to win a contest for receiving the most postcards. If you're interested in helping.

Good Lord. as it were. Is this another of your little psychological assessment tools, beta? Like the freaky monkey children on bikes movie? Hmmmm, I notice that you *are* back in school....

I had put those freaky monkey kids out of my mind. Thanks so much Lise for bringing them back. Really.
