Godspeed, o' Flying Kangaroo

Today will last 37 hours. Literally. Leaving for the other side of our planet on a Qantas jet in a couple of hours. Will spend time with as many friends as possible in NYC and Asbury Park before loading a moving truck with the things Jeff was kind enough to load into a storage unit after my place sold back in April. I'll then drive 850 miles to Tennessee, where I'll spend Thanksgiving with my mom, my brother Kevin, sister-in-law Ruth and smashing niece Amanda. Might do some traveling in Dixie before returning to Sydney 27 Nov.

Will miss much here in Australia, none more than ...
