This is what happens when my brain tells my hands to type...I can not accept blame for your wasted time.

A first time for anything


Lots of firsts:
First time in the Southern Hemisphere; first time moving to a city for someone else; first time flying over the Pacific; first time on a plane for 16 hours; first time bloggin'; first time waking up at 5:45 AM in order to work so I can try to overlap a few hours with my coworkers back in Austin; first time to hear a world famous academic say "paw paw" when referring to a papaya and having to hold back giggles; First time eating a fish called Barramundi and something called a Bay Bug (both fish native to Australia). I've only been in Sydney for a week and I know that there will be many more "firsts" to add to the list.
Cheers to many firsts we all have yet to experience. clink.

Just like Crocodile Dundee said, Barramundi is a bloody big fish!
