Aboriginal Reconciliation 1-0-1 | Parliament 597
https://parliament597.wordpress.com/2011/06/29/aboriginal-reconciliation-1-0-1
Life Leadership Awkward Moments. Posted on June 29, 2011. Colin Darcy and I are the same age. We are both young professionals. We like the same music. We were both educated in the city. My single girlfriends would probably ask me to introduce him at the pub. We are both wearing cool sunglasses. It strikes me that Colin and I live startlingly similar lives as we sit sipping lattes at an inner city café. Yet our journey to trendy sunglasses and lattes has been markedly different. Despite the god-like statu...

Taming the Bronco – a man’s take on marriage | Parliament 597

Life Leadership Awkward Moments. Taming the Bronco – a man’s take on marriage. Posted on July 1, 2011. After almost nine months of marriage, I asked Callum to pen his thoughts on what it was like to have me for a wife…. Cal teaching me to jump fences like they do in the movies. There is something completely mystical and satisfying about watching a wild bronco getting broken in. Seeing a creature of such strength and spirit brought to a place of discipline, connection and focus is magic to me. To be fair,...

Polygamy is for suckers | Parliament 597
https://parliament597.wordpress.com/2011/06/28/giving-monogamy-a-bad-name
Life Leadership Awkward Moments. Polygamy is for suckers. Posted on June 28, 2011. Nuptial man candy FTW. Two years ago on this day, at this exact hour, Callum kissed me for the first time. It was on my front doorstep after our official first date (which was preceded by about 14 unofficial first dates). He wore a big woollen jumper that day and I remember thinking that I must really like him if I didn’t care that he was dressed like a fisherman. Suffice to say that Callum is the best man I’ve ever known.

Athertonblab: September 2009

Wednesday, September 09, 2009. Classifieds for the bored and lonely. Is the classified advertising website for anarchists, so it has a reputation for producing the weirdest ads and personal notices. Scary washing machine guy. Would have been right at home here, although probably wouldn't have found a buyer with actual money. Here's a selection from their current top twent. Do you have a small, incontinent dog? This destructive kitty has been trained as a proud warrior and will fiercely defend your house,...

Athertonblab: August 2009
http://athertonblab.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 26, 2009. The soundtrack helps make it that extra bit spooky. I know what many of you are thinking and the answer is this; the nice hardwood floors appear to be coated with a water based non-yellowing satin finish. Posted by P. H. Atherton. Sunday, August 23, 2009. Not that I'm discriminating against Vertically Challenged Jewish Catholic Formula One Drivers. Those of you unfortunate enough to know all of my little quirks know that I love giving everything a deep, mystical meaning. Freak...

Athertonblab: March 2012
http://athertonblab.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 09, 2012. It's amazing what a spring clean can do. Amongst the old photos, copies of Boney M LPs and Betamax videotapes, I found this dusty old blog. Let's see if I can remember how to use it, in this age of iPhones and Twitface. Riley is recovering nicely, but one wonders whether we are meant to own horses. Some other stuff happened too. And here we are, in 2012. MOTOR magazine, with whom I have had previous relations. Posted by P. H. Atherton. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Godsister Katie&#...

Athertonblab: October 2009
http://athertonblab.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 22, 2009. Aussie F1 ace Webber slams vertically challenged people. Yes this is petty but very effective example of why I hate most newsmedia. Here's a headline from the Sydney Morning Herald: Casey Stoner quick to criticise circuit after slick effort. With an opening claim that Stoner took a "swipe at the condition of the track". Note to SMH journalist Martin Boulton: Either you learn your subject, such as how racing drivers or riders always. Although I do hope the Sydney Morning Herald.

Athertonblab: Roxy and Omi
http://athertonblab.blogspot.com/2010/09/roxy-and-omi.html
Friday, September 17, 2010. I blogged about it, when we first got Roxy. When the vet said those dreadful words, all I could think about was this. It isn't fair. Any other time but this. Can my daughter take any more blows? Roxy was so beautiful, right to the last. She accepted it graciously, she didn't struggle. She lay down softly, looking up at us. But in her gaze she knew someone was missing. I hope she forgave us, if horses can do such a thing. Posted by P. H. Atherton. Why has the blogging stopped!

Athertonblab: July 2009
http://athertonblab.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2009. I really hope that satire isn't the same as personal mockery. I use one, and don't like the other. If you're smart (unlike me) you'll try and remain voluntarily ignorant about politics, but try to avoid, at least, thinking that all political bents are the same. Take the 1970's socialist revolutionary Saul Alinsky for example. His book Rules For Radicals,. A step-by-step handbook on how to rise to power, has been used frequently by various US Democrats. I am offended by the attac...
