    Challenged the kids to some handball today, and despite my increasing age, it’s good to know I can still show them their place — which is down in the Dunce square, looking up at their King.

    The family wasn’t happy that I won the first game by taking the Ring of Power to Mount Doom, so they demanded we play again.

    And so I bankrupted all of them.

    There were tears.

    …and home after a long drive. The number of idiots on the road today tailgating and swerving between lanes in the rain was mind-boggling.

    Doing the last day of holidays packing.

    I hate this bit.

    Read about ASIC deciding to sue Finder over the crypto Finder Earn product and I have so many opinions that I think I might just bottle them up inside and use that pent up energy to fly to the moon.

    Holy shit. I was at Sea World yesterday and looked at the helicopter rides. I feel for the families - this is horrible.

    I spent the first day of 2023 with the family, pounding the pavement of Sea World. Still a great day out, but for some reason it felt like there was less there in the way of marine activities now compared to when we last visited 10 years ago.

    I don’t think I could ever live here, but I do love the walking track that runs up and down the beaches of the Gold Coast. Such a gorgeous view in every direction.

    After an epic 12 hour drive, we are finally on holidays up on the Gold Coast. Nice apartment, walking distance to the beach. Pretty tired, but looking forward to tomorrow!!

    I just spent 45 minutes ransacking the house looking for the key to the car’s roof racks. I searched every nook; scoured every cranny… only to find them attached to my wife’s key ring.

    …

    …

    …

    Ugh.

    Just finished watching Spirited on Apple TV+ and thoroughly enjoyed it. The Wil Ferrell/Ryan Reynolds combo is perfect and the songs are catchy and funny in perfect amounts. Good Afternoon!

    3 Die Hard movies done and I’ve finished Christmas wrapping 4 days early this year.

    Not sure if I’m a slow wrapper or we spent too much on gifts. Probably both.

    Wrapping presents and watching Die Hard. It’s officially Christmas time.

    Video games

    I finally got around to finishing Luigi’s Mansion on the Switch last night.

    Was cute, simple fun, but I have no desire to go through again collecting Gems and ghosts, or playing any of the multiplayer stuff.

    Next up I think I’ll work Skyward Sword off the pile of shame.

    I guess I spent a bit of time getting ready for that David Gray White Ladder gig this year.

    Oh! Today, randomly, I discovered my old blog. Well, one of them, anyway. I have now migrated it over here.

    Just need to find some time to fix up the linking and images. But it was fun to read some of that old stuff!

    Today I pulled out the Rock Band instruments and rocked out with the kids all day. My fingers ache, my shoulder is sore and I regret nothing.

    It was worth every single second.
