PhD's, fatherhood, and getting organised

Another 100km

Signed up for Dirtworks this morning.  Another 100km race… though this one is meant to be at the other end of the scale (ie. easier) to the Angry Doctor.  The pain and weariness of riding 100km off road only seems to breed an appetite for more.

Mumford & Sons: a montage

A selection, plucked from context, from their new album, Sigh no more.  They’re a poetic bunch.  But I am not interpreting these… you are:

It seems that all my bridges have been burnt.  But you say that’s exactly how this grace thing works. It’s not the long walk home that will change this heart.  But the welcome I receive with the restart.

Lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life

But I can’t move the mountains for you

Plant your hope with good seeds. Don’t cover yourself with thistle and weeds. Rain down, rain down on me.

In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die. Where you invest your love, you invest your life.

Oh man is a giddy thing.

5 things I find odd about the US

1. Light switches that switch the other way

2. Toilets full of water, so that they look like they’re blocked

3. Tipping

4. Small coffees the size of our large

5. US flags everywhere
