An experimental snifter of politics and parenting. Mostly, I now blog at http:/ tumblerofarmagnac.tumblr.com/ but I keep this site for longer and more personal writing. Friday, May 03, 2013. RIP Jeff Hanneman - and why I still respect one of the heaviest bands on earth. Two random autotrivias :. 1) I once did a stint as a blow in DJ on a heavy radio show as 'metal REALNAME'. RIP Jeff. You were something real in a world of fake, I respected that and I still do. Links to this post. Thursday, May 02, 2013.

An experimental snifter of politics and parenting. Mostly, I now blog at http:/ tumblerofarmagnac.tumblr.com/ but I keep this site for longer and more personal writing. Wednesday, March 13, 2013. School is actually rather crap for working parents. Nuclear family is best, with mum doing 'schooly' stuff along with craft group, dad hard at work leaving all that to the missus. I mean it. I'm just passing on the sustained message we have received from our first year and a bit at school. I am feeling quite a s...

An experimental snifter of politics and parenting. Mostly, I now blog at http:/ tumblerofarmagnac.tumblr.com/ but I keep this site for longer and more personal writing. Wednesday, November 16, 2011. The unfinished business of repairs. Speaking with my birth mother last night. She is here, finding her space as one of the grandparent constellation. Willing to step forward and have a relationship. Step, adoptive, birth, right pain in the arse or otherwise. They can take a few giants steps together this week.

armagnac'd: Driving back on the Hume Highway with road songs

An experimental snifter of politics and parenting. Mostly, I now blog at http:/ tumblerofarmagnac.tumblr.com/ but I keep this site for longer and more personal writing. Tuesday, April 10, 2012. Driving back on the Hume Highway with road songs. Early Paul Kelly, a surprising amount of noise, I thought; accoustic, low key, folk-country but he gives sax and snares and guitar solos and dirty rock as well. Gentle explanations of loss and death, hints of reflective comprehension from a 5 year old Bear. The...

After transition, a transition. We are just weeks from school. Bear tries on her dress, I well up. She is excited. I am, and yet. It is the start of it all. Work was extra hard those days. I direct my hopes to her fortune. I hope she is happy. Gosh Magny - tempus fugit. X X X Ann ODyne. November 30, 2011. Polic...

An experimental snifter of politics and parenting. Mostly, I now blog at http:/ tumblerofarmagnac.tumblr.com/ but I keep this site for longer and more personal writing. Friday, June 14, 2013. Extracts from a personal letter. I wrote a long letter in chapters. I felt the need to be brief and understated in raising the issues with my parents. I talked about Christmas and this is how it went. Casting aspertions on the last visit will be a tricky exercise in diplomacy…. Links to this post. Cloud, Castle, Lake.

Bear starts school, and everything suddenly. It started tugging at my sleeve during transition, and has crystalised. During the first few weeks. Of school. The difference. Folks are in the same boat. Our mostly professional friends, the members of Beloved's. Taking the child to swimming classes'. Said Bear, my litt...
