David and Lila are on the way to Melbourne. We have glorious travel weather, and are curious, interested and as awake as possible to the joy of this opportunity! Not many expectations are in place, mostly the open consciousness that is willing to find the appropriate resonance and delight in whomever we are connected to! Partly, I look forward to the costumes! The entertainment factor in international dress is always a reminder that we’re fundamentally in a movie, and that the costume designer had an unlimited budget for this episode. I’ll take some photos as I’m able, to prove my point.

We thought we’d start a section on our blog called “Today’s Quotable Quotes”. Our selection today comes from a radio new broadcast: “It was too unbelievable to be believed." The next, from the Premier himself, after describing a colleague who was beset by criticism. “Let the bloke have a go.” Kevin Rudd is very well spoken, very light accent, good vocabulary, and then these words pop out. Say those words out loud.
