Today is a day I have waited 20 years for. I get to do something that every dad, nay, every parent should be so lucky to be able to do. Forget weddings, graduations or birthdays, this is true parental joy.

Today I am taking my boys to...

When I bought tickets to RockWiz I didn't expect to see Phil Jameson, Casey Donovan and Ross Wilson singing Jeremiah was a bullfrog in the Canberra theater

What a show

So much fun

Heading out for a hot date night of beer, Ramen and RockWiz Live.

Feels like it has been a while since Amy and I went to a show, and I hear good things...

We are currently experiencing a server outage.

Stay frosty while we get our minions on the problem and get back to doing what we do best...

Look, this is some boring ass adult shit here but I just saved about $2.5k on my car insurance by shopping around after the automatic renewal on my current policy bounced because of an expired credit card.

Pays to be a bit anal about this shit it would seem.

Well, the morning took a turn, didn't it?

I guess it is time to say the thing.

Player 2 discloses everything.

We get fuck all, have no money, and if we somehow do land something, we make it known that it's been paid for.

I couldn't hustle anything if I tried.

My son bought me a decanter for my birthday because he knew I was getting close.

Btw the rum was next level, right up with the best I've ever had.
