I’ll be celebrating mine tomorrow, because it’s Left Handers Day. Come join me in awkward writing and cutting land, it’s really quite fun.

On Fatherhood
I love the way JFGP runs down the hallway when I come through the front door after work. I also love the way he only ever occupies the top third of his bed. Maybe he’s being cost conscious and saving the other two thirds of the mattress for future wear and tear. I love the …
Drinking Ahoy!
To celebrate the birth of our second son it falls to me to celebrate in a fatherly style. To that end you are cordially invited to join me for a few cold drinks tomorrow night (the 28th of July, 2005) from 6pm at the Manly Wharf Hotel.
An Update and a Coincidence
Just back from visiting the family in the hospital and picking up JFGP from his evening visit to the Family Whiston (thanks guys). All is looking good and we’re off to pick up SWMBO and the littlest Todd tomorrow morning. The car seat is down from the loft and the bassinet is ready for some …

My completely un-scientific theory on the popularity of the young wizard is that they are books that are …
Weird World
Proof, if more proof were needed, that this is indeed a strange world. According to this article at the BBC the wacky people at Anheuser-Busch (home to the worst beer in the world – Budweiser) are bringing a beer with extra caffeine to the UK. What were they thinking? And since when did companies get …
