Who knows, maybe my move into a new technological age will usher in a resurgence in my blogging? When we moved out to Ourimbah, we moved into an area that our old service provider doesn’t cover, so we had to cancel our plan & today we finally got online with our new provider. Two big differences. 1: Instead of being mobile broadband, we are now ADSL. Man, it is SOOO much faster, even at mere ADSL1! What a glorious world when you can watch movie previews & you don’t have to wait 5 minutes for them to download. Just to sweeten the deal, having a bigger download limit means I can watch a preview I can actually see!!!! 2: The wonderful world of WiFi!!!!!! I can be on a computer & Shona is on the lap top!!! Even better, we just connected the Wii, so Phil, Matty & Nic, email me (my usual email) so I know who you guys are…. What a wonderful world when you’re connected

(lamentably not me….) I’m not going to tell you that I sprinted the thing. I’m not going to pretend to be annoyed because the TV only showed the top 10 & I came in at 11. I wont even hide from the fact that a large number of pre-teens probably beat me to the finish line. I may have won ugly, but at least I can say that I finished the city to surf. Given the busy work schedule I have had over the last month, resulting in close to 0% training, I was happy just to be involved! It’s nice to get out, it’s nice to enjoy a little bit of God’s creation & it is nice to wonder at how beautifully the human body is made. Such diversity, such fragility (you pass a lot of people with sprained ankles over 14kms) and such sturdiness! It was also nice to raise over $500 for the “Jesus All About Life” campaign. In fact, it is still going, so feel free to follow this link if you’d like to make a donation!
