New Addition to the Family

Introducing my newest niece Lucy Jean Frater. Daughter to my brother Seth.

After going into the hospital on Friday as Louise’s fluid levels were low, they wanted to keep an eye on her since she was already overdue. They attempted to induce her with the cream/gel with no luck then again. Finally they put a drip [...]

Please Allow me to Jinx myself

Getting very close to a job offer, can’t wait!
And it’s happening just in time, almost at the very end of my current job, which I’m finishing up and doing a handover. I wonder if I’ll feel the same way about BP (see my other post about being a BP employee during the Gulf of Mexico [...]

Fahrenheit 432

You remember the book, by Ray Bradbury, with the unforgettable title ‘Fahrenheit 451′ referring to the temperature at which books combust (never mind the fact that it’s actually 450 degrees Celsius), in which the characters sit in front of floor-to-ceiling screens covering all four walls (our hero’s wife only had 3 walls, a fact she [...]

Camping - Kangaroo Valley

Last weekend we got to head south to Kangaroo Valley for some camping. A group of 4 families were going. 2 Wilso’s, the Tuckers and the O’Hara’s. Toby wondered where the Kangaroo’s were. It’s not known for Kangaroo’s but the kangaroo River runs right through it.
It was a beautiful area lush and green, right by [...]

Picnic - Berowra Waters

Early April on Easter Monday. It’s a day off here in Australia.
This location has some meaning to me as it’s where some of my family history lies. My family meet here several years ago before I moved to the states to gather and go to property our family once owned many years ago right on [...]

Can you tell me what part of the song he’s singing?
I sure can’t.

A Trinity of Sport

You know that ASL sign for ‘trinity’, well, I got to participate in a trinity of sport last Sunday.
Rewind time about 1 week, you’ll see my family getting sick, the germs slowly spreading from our magnet for all germs and disease, TJ, then to Sharole, and then stretching its fingers across to me. Somewhere in [...]

In Which My Eardrum Bursts

This last couple weeks our family has been struggling with germs of the lungs, throat, and nose, and possibly head.  Well, early this week, Sharole took it up another level when she got an ear infection. The kind she gets are not necessarily limited to the ear, hers extend outwards flowing down the shoulder and [...]

Calcium Recycling

I have something to confess. My visit to the dentist this morning wasn’t really traumatic at all. I was going to write it up as a horror novel, complete with torture chamber and rough wooden chairs with leather straps, but the honest truth is that it went quite well.  It was reminiscent of my wisdom [...]
