As I sit here reminiscing about the past, I can't help but smile, all thanks to the infectious energy of my now 8-year-old son who has a knack for injecting life with a playful attitude.

Life Lessons from Exploring the World Online
I don't know what schools teach regarding world wide geography. I do not recall being taught when I was a kid about the rest of the world. We just accepted that we lived in Australia and a lot of other people did not. But now that we have Google Maps and Google Earth plus the... Continue Reading →
Kingscote vs Adelaide
After 32 years living in multiple suburbs of Adelaide, the last 18 in the Adelaide hills, 19 years working in the CBD, we moved into Kingscote on Kangaroo Island in late 2016.
