I'm writing this on a flight to Darwin.  Darwin is where I spent the first 14 months or so of my marriage.  I had many experiences there I'll never forget.  One was cutting paw-paws off a tree in the middle of a cyclone to impress my new wife.  Another was winning a Radio Award for best Australian Provincial Producer.  Becoming a Dad, sunsets at Mindil Beach, singing a solo at the city's Carols by Candlelight, riding bicycles everywhere because we didn't have a car – it was a rich 14 months.

Here's another Darwin experience I'll never forget.

This is just a brief entry to explain the picture in the header of this website.

In 2007, my wife and I were blessed with a trip to Israel. A strong memory for both of us was a visit to Yad va-Shem, Israel's Holocaust museum.

She told me the 44 Magnum was purely for cooking purposes only, and I believed her...

Ever have one of those days that don't turn out quite like you imagined? Two broken bones, a date with Bill Gates over a Ukrainian feast, and I'm ready for bed...

It's the Tuesday morning after Easter Monday. I'm in the public hospital lying next to my youngest son, not exactly what I thought I'd be doing when I woke up about 20 hours ago.
