Sweet sweat

Only two more sleeps before I'm off to Sydney to visit the family. I'll be leaving behind little but problems and heading towards not much else - has anyone else noticed that 2004 is shaping up to be one of those years where absolutely everyone experiences one or more life-altering changes, none of them for the better? By my reckoning New Year's Eve 2004 is going to greeted with great enthusiasm by all those people who can't wait to turn the page and wipe the slate clean for another year - and it's only frickin March!

How inspiring was Don Chipp on Denton tonight? I've always admired the man, his ideas and his persona, but to see him at 78 years of age, carrying the burden of Parkinsons Disease with such great dignity and having lost none of his decisiveness, or clarity of thought - well...Good on ya Don! You always were a great bloke, now you're a legend!
