Getting ready for the hit for Haiti.

The Queue

As I walked to work this morning I ran into a queue of folks buying tickets to the charity tennis match that the Australian open is having to raise funds for Haiti. The line was very long - I'd say the length of a cricket pitch. For you non-Aussie's a pitch is a field. The photo was taken at Federation Square.

Calm

This was Melbourne a few evenings ago. Quiet, still and cooler.

41

This is what 41 degrees (106 F) looks like. What does it feel like? Like walking into a blast furnace. And Lloyd is making me go to court 6 & 8 to test the radar.

Low country boil

I arrived in Melbourne on December 31st and a few hours later I was greeted with a Low Country Boil courtesy of Jo and Ken. Ken is US (Georgia) transplant and he knows how to cook. I didn't get a photo of the Ribs, but those were the best ribs I've ever had - and I live in the South now and can tell a good rib when I see one. Jo is a lucky woman - Ken can really cook. If only Jo didn't have all of the "texture" issues!
