WOOOHOOO inspired

Hey all you technologically advanced people out there...welcome Zac and Carl to your ranks. Yes it's true we have finally managed to navigate this thing they call the instanet (or something) and boy is it instant...'spose that's why they thought up such an appropriate name ? note to self..next time you invent something, pick an appropriate name, will take off better.

Anywho...Let me tell you a few things or two...Xmas is over and you remember that big heavy present Zac was holding onto...well turns out it was a set of speakers and sub-woofer (wow fully sick) for Zac to plug his new iPod into...so now he has his own little sound system in his room, and no Dad i don't have to tell him to turn it down all the time...in fact i don't mind a bit of Social Distortion belting out at 6am, kinda cool i think (wonder where he gets that from). He also got a cool AFI poster for his room and a few other bits and pieces.

We had a nice day Zac and I together on Christmas day, just hanging out, i even did a baked ham with honey and brown sugar glaze (impressed Mum?) we managed to get a swim in between the showers. Speaking of which the weather has been a little wet here lately, which we are actually enjoying, the temp stays down (a bit cold sometimes, even got down to 22 degrees last night) and the lord knows we need the rain to fill the dams up.

My new job is going great, it's a tough life being one of only two males in the country (220 staff in our brand) i have a feeling the conference is going to be a drag too, but hey. Otherwise been going really well and am enjoying the change of industries a great deal, it's also a nice change to be working in the city.

Anyway, that's about all i can muster tonight, stay tuned for the next installment, as soon as i can work out how to let you all know the address for this thing.

RIP Sir Ed...the world certainly is a different place now..thanks
