I got paid for my Jury Duty..

I did. One whole painfully long week sitting there listening to all the gory details of a case involving the ongoing molestation of a child...

A FOUR HOUR close by the judge to sit through...

And I was jury foreman, so he addressed most of his ...

The whacky headlines just keep on coming...

Yesterday's blog didn't go up apparently... not sure why.

Oh well, it was just a word count, and this is way funnier.

Yet another gem from the NT News. And what's more, this isn't the first time they've jailed a croc up here, either!

Anywhere... anytime....

If you remember, a few days ago, I blogged about three women who tried to break into the Alice Springs Gaol.
We're different here in the Outback...
Well, after reading this latest item in the NT News, I've decided our relationship to law enforcemen...

Thursday's Movie Review - Surrogates

In 2054, everybody in the Central Georgia Metropolis who can afford one, owns a surrogate to go out and live their life while the owner stays home, transmitting all the decisions the surrogate needs to make, while receiving all the benefits of a risk...

Wanna be a spy?

I have a confession to make. When I was a kid, I decided that if I couldn't be an author, I badly wanted to be a spy.

I always thought I'd be a good spy. After all, I'm a great liar (as all authors are... I mean, that's what they do...), and I ha...

The joys of air travel...

Flew back from Darwin to Alice today.
