So beautiful...

SurferBoy — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 07:27:39 GMT

Have you ever met, ever known, somebody who is just heartachingly beautiful?

Someone who when you see him or her just makes you sit up straight, admire them, and just take a deep breath?

They are out there - I know, I know someone l...

Missing you

SurferBoy — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 06:31:45 GMT

Wandering around through the late night streets of a different city, thinking to myself how much I wish you were there to walk with me, to talk with me, to laugh and eat and breathe with me.

I am so much happier when I can spend time with you.More

Swine flu?

SurferBoy — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 08:26:42 GMT

Nearly home now - in my second airport on the way back home.

I'm feeling terrible - sore throat, aching body, my sinuses flared up on the last flight and I can't hear.

I have an important meeting tomorrow, but will instead be going to the...

Another week, another city

SurferBoy — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 23:42:55 GMT

Time for my next trip - heading over to the west coast this time.

There is something lovely about the early morning ride in to the airport - while most of the city is sleeping.

The drive takes you past roaming wild herds of kangaroos - su...

Boarding Call

On the road again - delivering presentations around the country.

Laptop in hand, suit packed, time to be a roadwarrior again.

Hearty fare for winter

It's starting to get cold here, which means it's time to start making more hearty winter food - roasts that heat up the house, slow cooked stews and the like.

I cooked a lovely italian meal the other night, perfect for a cold night. And the best...

Sounds that move you.

I was watching a channel showing classic songs, and it showed a couple of classic Australian rock songs - two of the songs that I guess I grew up with, and that I've heard around the world, each time reminding me poignantly of Australia.

Have yo...

Dinner for One

SurferBoy — Wed, 13 May 2009 08:34:36 GMT

I'm out and about at the moment for work, travelling around to hold meetings and give presentations.

Being in a different city each night, on my own, means I get to eat at different restaurants.

Dining for one can be fun, if you embrace t...

Happy Mothers Day

SurferBoy — Sun, 10 May 2009 03:16:40 GMT

Happy Mothers Day to all the lovely mothers out there.

I'm inviting my parents over for dinner tonight, which gives me the chance to show off my culinary skills.

Tonight's menu:

Onion tartlets and asparagus spears wrapped in prosci...

More poetry that inspires me

SurferBoy — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 20:15:00 GMT

This is another of my favourite poems, dealing with moral choice, and making the point that we are responsible for our own actions... written by William Henley, and entitled 'Invictus'.

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from...
