What you do not have...

I met with Nurse Stefanie today. Anzac day. The Aussies and Kiwis, really respect their war dead. The parades marched downtown, on their way to the Shrine of Remembrance. I never liked parades. Why stand in one spot to watch...

Trials, Class Differences, Responsibility

Yesterday, I went to an interview in Elsternwick to see if I could get in as a Kitchen hand. Why? I'm honest with myself enough to know that backpackers promise the moon and bail early on many jobs they take...

Mid-week blahs

This morning "Well you should have seen yourself going on every night," Antoinette baited me. "What?" I asked, genuinely concerned, "What did I do?" "You were going on drunk every night," she said all seriously, "rambling away like a fool,...
