They don't have Remembrance Day here or in Australia, and so even though it's the 12th here, it's the 11th back home, where all the crazy Canadians are doing their remembering.

Thank you...

Since I can't post pictures to delight and amuse you, my handful of faithful and good-looking readers, here are the 209 songs (whiddled down from the 6032 that I had on my computer which is stored away in Wollongong) that will accompany me on the rest of my travels in the South Pacific.

Hmmmmms

I was talking to Monique tonight about the low surrounding this post. It was definitely the hardest weekend that I've had over here, and a very difficult memo from God. I realized this evening, though, that it was necessary and essential to the highs that have followed. Hindsight often provides that clarity for me. That's it. OH! And this girl makes me smile!
