Just home from a wonderful afternoon.
Took the Hardman and the Lola-cat up to the local pub for a dose of bad beer, bad food, and terribly amatuer country music (with an electronic drumset)
Then spent some time in the park, playing with planes and birds and slides, and a boy who was surrounded by invisible buttons. I kid you not.
Now I am cleaning up the kitchen while the Hardman dances to ‘Falling Yaks‘. That makes me smile for more than one reason.
Falling Yaks.

So yeah, hi.
It’s late, I’m tired (something like 15 hours sleep over the whole 4-day Easter Break), and I shouldn’t be here.
I’ve just been walking around the house in the dark with a hot iron in my hand. This can’t be good life skills.
That’s all. I exist, I’m guessing you might also.
I don’t know what’s going on with Stacking Theory at the moment, or Stacking Bits, or any of the other various domains I have impulsively bought.
If I figure it out, if the haze ever lifts, I’ll let you know.
Meanwhile, keep on truckin’

Thirty Six on Thirteen
Thank you all (those who read stacking theory, and those who do not) for the emails, the phone calls and the text messages. You make me feel like a Very Special Boy.
I have another idea, to file with the other several ideas that never see fruition.
More of that later, as I am currently attempting to recover from 3 nights and 2 days with 1 wife, a 6 month old Lola-cat, the 2.5 year old Hardman, and 1 teeny tiny Cabin on Phillip Island.
Hugs.

I’ve never been good at new years resolutions.
Not so much because I lack resolve, but more because I have no real idea of where I want to get to in the short (or long) term.
This year I doubt it will be different, but I do hope to be able to get more involved. With my family, with my work, with my friends. 2008 was a year of disconnect for me - I was caught up in the pregnancy and birth of Lola, and the business relocation, and didn’t really seem to have much time for the rest.
I am hoping that this year ‘the haze will lift’ (as advised by Joel Steinbeck) and I will see some wonderful things.
You included.

I just bought me a ticket to see My Morning Jacket.
Bring on the RAWK!

We’ve got 5 new chickens, and said goodbye to an old one.
We’ve got the first flower ever on our banana palm.
We’ve seen blackbirds build a nest, raise their young, and teach them to fly right outside our kitchen window.
We’ve seen the Elk-horn in which the blackbirds nested fall to the ground not long after they left.
I’ve had a vasectomy, I’ve bought new shoes.
We’ve heard King Parrots calling to us, asking for seed.
We’ve had pigeons knock themselves out on the kitchen window.
We’ve taken our daughter to the chiropractor. Alot.
I’ve bought stupid toys that I’ll probably never use.
I have not broken 5 hours sleep for weeks, although it feels like years.
We’ve got friends who are thinking about moving out near us.
We’ve got friends who are moving out near us next week.
And I do not feel like writing about any of it.

So I made a coupe more gentle updates, including the ‘about’ page.
To save you a click, here is what I wrote:
Stacking Theory, for now, is the place I come to dump things.
It’s a bit of a mess at present, to be honest. I’m still trying to find out exactly how it works best for me. The current mix of random thoughts, links, and occasional considered content isn’t really heading this ship in the direction I thought it was.
I’ve been working on a slight re-design as you know, and you’ll probably see some ongoing changes as I try to simplify the design, and separate the content into two streams.
In the meantime, sit back and enjoy the ride - and feel free to let me know what you’re thinking.
