Before I blaze in with my new favorites, I have a few new (well, new at the time) artists to whom I want to give a bit of press. For those of you that were paying attention, I had hoped to feature the music of the Sunshine State. Well, Florida was a musical bust so [...]

Well, I know you got the answers we all wanna know
The more observant among you may have noticed that I did a bit of teasing about suits and flirting with job possibilities about a week or so ago and then left you hanging. (I’m talking to you, Maggie.) Well, I can pony up the suit picture that some of you requested, though I’ve fannied it [...]
Assassinating 80’s Nostalgia
Well, the whole relocation and resettling here in Oz took far longer than I had hoped. A Free Man was nearly a month without a home internet connection, which made blogging a bit of a challenge. But, as I knock frantically on wood, I think that we’ve got all the gears turning and hopefully will [...]
Up The Beach
I’ve always had a dream of living near the beach. I grew up in a town in Florida that was about as far away from the beach in a state nearly completely surrounded by water. I went to graduate school in a school that was pretty close to the geographical center of the U.S. I [...]
Science Tuesday: Breath-taking insanity
The subtitle of this post my very well turn out to be “How I Alienated My Religious Readers” but I got a little something stuck in my craw while reading up for this week’s Science Tuesday. My last job, at Oxford, was working in a lab that focused on evolutionary developmental biology. This field of [...]
Isn’t she a beauuuty!
Since our arrival Down Under, one of my goals has been to run across some of the exotic wildlife for which Australia is famous in their native habitat. Until this weekend, my wildlife encounters have been limited to spotting cockatoos, rosellas and the occassional pigeon from a distance and a couple of unidentifiable furry [...]
Making friends?
Since before Z was born, the dog’s reaction to a new member of the pack has been a source of a little bit of concern – moreso to Dr. O’C than to me. If I’m being honest, there have been a couple of dicey moments. While Timmins has accepted his demotion in status, he’s not [...]
Those seagulls are still out of reach
Now this is why I moved to Oz. Winter Down Under isn’t bad at all.

Somebody spoke and I went into a dream (or reason No. 17 why I need a job)
Today is one of the glorious days on which I have sole custody of my son. His Mum is off on an interview and his Nana is working herself. So, it’s a proper SAHD day on the ranch. At the dawn of these days I’m fired up – excited at the opportunity to spend a [...]
Workingman’s Blues Revisited
I don’t know if I can explain how good it feels to be typing this post on my own computer, in my own room, listening to the gentle 80’s inspired crooning of The Editors on my very own internet connection.
[Sigh of contentment]
Now, next problem to unstick is the job situation. Most of my limited internet [...]
