My Adventure to New York

Posted by on Sep 26, 2010 in Soapbox | 0 comments In my post last week, Learning and finding Inspiration, I wrote about an article I’d read in the New York Times. I wanted to know how far it was from where I was in Hall, ACT, to New York. (According to the site Time and Date it is roughly 16,233 km or 10,008 miles or 8,765 nautical miles) As I was sitting in a cafe I pulled out my trusty iPhone and went to Google Maps and requested the...

How to have 2 weekends in one week

Posted by on May 4, 2010 in Living Life, Reminiscing | 0 comments When I was in my early 20s, I lived in Crows Nest; walking distance to North Sydney. I went to a local gym one Wednesday afternoon and whilst doing my workout with my training partner at the time, we discussed the idea of a mid-week bushwalk.
