Airborne

We'll shortly be airborne on the way home from a fantastic (but far too short) weekend in Melbourne. When the opportunity arose to combine some business with a little pleasure, we didn't need a second invitation.

Melbourne is our favourite city in Australia. There's always something going on, the food and entertainment choices are almost limitless, and it is, of course, Australia's sporting capital. When we were reading the Sunday paper today, we counted that the attendances at three AFL matches yesterday in the final round of the regular season pulled over 110,000 punters, including more than 60,000 at the Gee last night.

So we'll be out of circulation for the rest of today, and we may not get back online until we get home tomorrow morning. But fear not; there's some early morning content locked and loaded for Monday morning. Without giving too much away, Kevin Rudd wouldn't have found the Sunday edition of the Herald-Sun especially good reading today!

Normal transmission will resume on Monday morning. Going to work tomorrow is going to be a struggle, and Peter Dunne's flexible retirement plan seems like quite a good idea today!
