He Fills His Head With Culture

I love that the State Library of Queensland is hosting this series of events and blogging about it.

So: that’s a year, then.

Well, hello.

Why yes, we have been in Australia for a year now.

This, friends, is not an anomaly.

Are we older? Yes. Wiser? Maybe. At the very least, we now know which way is home, and home is across the Pacific for kilometres and miles, until we’re in the Pacific Northwest again. We won’t get there for another five months or so. In the meantime, there’s still heaps to see, more to do and more often.

A roundup of past adventures:

90-Day Review

Swimming, Noosa

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then I have 51,000 words to share. In the form of pictures.

Speaking of mothers

Harry’s Hut Campground, Upper Noosa River, Great Sandy National Park

My short memory, or, why this post doesn’t have a picture.

Playing to our strengths.

Aww.

When things got exciting (which it did and often), I started talking baseball talk. And that’s just not right at a cricket game.

Who’s a responsible adult?

These people who work short days on Friday so they can go to the cricket: are they below your pay grade, or above?

Me

They’re at all pay grades.

Justin

But you won’t take off early.

Me

No, because I don’t really understand why it’s necessary to be [at the cricket grounds] for the full eight hours.

Justin

Well, you can’t BYO and they’ll only sell you light or mid-strength beer…

Me

I see.

Things I Saw On My Walk Home: A List

1. A restaurant menu written in Japanese. No photos, and no English.
2. A left behind polka-dotted umbrella.
3. Kids breakdancing in front of a bank.
4. A bagel shop.
5. A pedestrian signal activator box, dangling from its wires.

I think they said, “run!”
