Never too Old!
On 31 Dec 06, at 53 years of age, I was made redundant. Prior to that, I had worked for over twenty two years without taking any long service leave, and only three or four times taking a holiday longer than two weeks. So in effect I am taking my long service leave now in 2007, and spending 5 months travelling the world. This is my adventure. My second adventure began in 2008 when I enrolled as a full-time student at University of Sunshine Coast to do a Bachelor of Communication Degree. After a month in Phuket, Thailand, gaining some hand-on experience at electronic publishing - see http://www.magicbrochures.com/ - I'll be heading off to USA on student exchange to University of Wyoming in Laramie, Wyoming. Who knows where this adventure will end.

And home again
I had a south facing room at the hotel in Chicago, so after my bath, I lay on the bed in the sun and had some sleep. I really did not want to bundle up and go out into the freezing wind again until I had to, whic...

The start of my homeward journey
It was snowing a little again in Sunday morning – small flakes this time and it felt very cold outside. Sunday was a singing day – two Holiday Gala concerts, the first at 3pm and the second at 8 pm. Usu...
