Reef Blues

Tuesday, February 28th, 2006

A pair of reef shoes would have been real nice today!

With a light offshore and 38 degrees forecast, Mick and I headed up to the Alkimos at 9 AM for some waves.
It was one of those magic days you dream of. Perfect surf and the only two guys out paddled in as I went [...]

When Middle Classness Sux

Tuesday, February 28th, 2006

“You see when you are middle class you have to live with the fact that history will ignore you. You have to live with the fact that history will never champion your causes and that history will never feel sorry for you. It is the price to be paid for day to day comfort and [...]

Experimenting…

Monday, February 27th, 2006

Lately at our Upstream gatherings I’ve been experimenting a bit with some different ideas.
I usually like experimentation after the event, but find it stressful before and during it, wondering if it will work out!
Last week’s ‘experiment’ was a relational map, tracking the connections we have made since coming to Brighton.

The idea was simple. [...]

Rachel Sells Her Soul

Monday, February 27th, 2006

I love that episode of the Simpsons where Bart sells his soul to Millhouse for $5.00 and then regrets it. Well… my good friend and our ex Forge team member, Rachel Barr has sold her soul to the coffee devil!!

Hard to believe it could happen to someone you know… but photos don’t lie!
Funnily enough [...]

Mother in Law Fun

Monday, February 27th, 2006

The focus for the day was ‘families’ and my job was to help kids draw their families and then write their names. Not hard for most, but for one little [...]

Is there anybody out there!?

Saturday, February 25th, 2006

Its Saturday night at the end of another long day – a wedding out in Jarrahdale (90 min drive from here) followed by a 30th birthday party for my sister in law at Pancho’s Mexican in Vic Park. The wedding was very nice, but it was warm in Jarrahdale so we left feeling tired.
The birthday [...]

Nice…

Friday, February 24th, 2006

Tuesday this week was 41 degrees C – the only 40+ day this summer!
It was a day when I had no appointments and was able to get out in the water with Drew for a dive, fish & surf. As we shot out of Mindarie marina we were greeted by a pretty hot and strong [...]
