This was brought to my attention by Rod, a fellow Apple admirer from the sunny climes of Melbourne. Thanks Rod! The Washington Post’s Style Invitational once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition. Here are the winners this …
Another day – or not
About 8am, the phone rings. I answer it, to hear a duet of ‘Happy Birthday’. Quite a reasonable rendition, too – in fact, I’d rate it better than what I’d heard on NZ Idol this time around. This birthday was brilliant. Good food, good drink, and great company…oh – and a Wild Turkey shirt. To …
Summer’s meandering down to us
It’s getting warmer – time to start stealing the sun from the Northern Hemisphere in earnest There’s been two or three days in the last week or so it’s been almost Summer time hot, which is great news. To this end, there is now a nice new shiny (shiny’s always good!) outdoor table gracing the …

Oh Lord, where will it end?

At the moment the tv is on in the background, and the Biggest Loser is on (don’t click that link if you’re an NZer currently watching …
Aiding personal growth – or something like that…
