Melbourne: My New Home?
Ah Melbourne: Smokey from bush fires, home of the weirdest turning lane rules in the world, and a city whose weather changes more quickly and dramatically than any other to which I've ever been - and I'm from Calgary! Arriving in Melbourne, I was psyched. I had a job interview the next day and was hopeful that I’d find accommodations very quickly in order ... Read Full EntryThere are more photos below

I Made This
See I'm not artistically handicapped, I'm...um...creative.
Whatch You Lookin' At
Oh man, these are funny birds, but outstandingly accurate with their beaks.
Parliament
No, it's not the capital of Australia, but it used to be!
Worst Wine Ever
This is me trying not to spew my wine out in the attempt to maintain the illusion of decency.
On the Great Walk
Here's Mel and I just before embarking on the imfamously long walk.
What's that!
This lazy wombat asleep in the arms of the zoo keeper provided great entertainment, when a man asked what are those bumps on its belly? She replied: Umm, those are his balls.
Awe the piggies...er...
Not piggies, but wombats, they're sooo cute, like hair piggies with sharp claws.
That's my knee
I just like this picture. Not much to say about it either.
Mermaid Seals
Out in the distance you can see seal rock, not the big one, but beyond it, that purportedly has seals. They can't be seen by the naked eye though. So they should tell people mermaids...they'd believe anything.

My lovely wife got to spend several weeks in Melbourne on business some years ago. Plenty of walking despite the reasonable public transit, and many rave reviews of the Greek restaurants. But the cats were very miffed when she got home. Perhaps some day, when we're not already booked for Hawaii (and we have the money, of course), we'll visit. The cats can shut up and deal.

Still in the good books
Thanks for not homosexualizing me (yes, it's a real word). And you're wrong...I am exhausting! It's just that people put up with me because I'm so sexy! I can't believe that you made room in your backpack for a Flames jersey. Priorities, I guess. You should totally become an anti-whaler..."Cory the Pirate" sounds super sweet. YAAAAAAARRRR!!!
