Spring
It's a half a month off yet, but spring has come, if today's weather is any indication, despite Australia's calendric demarcation of the seasons, let alone any equinoxial (if that's a word) focus. Last I looked, we were 22c in the shade, and although the clouds were large, they weren't thick, so at its height the afternoon was well up around the low 70's: pleasant, indeed. This is the biggest problem in my life, well, aside from all the more mundane issues of money and so forth, althought these are related, after all, because what I'm talking about is how much, having come to Sydney and experiencing on a sustained basis, beach life, I know now how ready I am to retire. Bring it on, I say, but after the lottery win.

Better keep working.
