    Rugby League Grand Final tickets. Not just any tickets mind you. Corporate Box tickets. Corporate Box tickets with rugby league legend Mark Geyer (MG). Corporate Box tickets with cricket legend Stuart MacGill. Corporate Box tickets with radio and TV personality Gus Worland. With that thoroughly deserved gloat out of the way, I’ll shed some light on how it all happened.

    Three weeks ago I started a new job in Sydney. Having worked from home for much of the past three years, this was a step into the normal






    The US Masters

    This year the company I work for had an additional project at the US Masters golf tournament in Augusta, Georgia. Our software was to be used on the Concessions side of the tournament; they have been using our software for 10 years prior on the Retail side. I was heading up the project alongside Matt (a co-worker) and teaming up with the NCR Retail Division. Now I am not a golf nut by any stretch, but my dad was and much of my family are. I spent many Saturday’s as a boy as my dad’s caddie; I picked up an






    The big surprise
    by Mike250 on February 17th, 2009 in Family, Friends, Travel, Work

    When Jenifer got word that her brother Jesse was getting married we knew we had to get her over to the States for the second time in a year. For a second wedding in a year.  The previous was Josiah and Sarah’s wedding, the timing on that occasion wasn’t good for a family trip so Jenifer and Hayden went alone. This one wasn’t ideal either; the boys would have been in a new school year all of a few weeks before the big day. With reluctance we planned for Jenifer and Hayden only to

    Not so bad. In truth, I feel and act like I am 18. Jenifer would be standing to the side, pointing at me and nodding. We’ll chat next year. Surprise 30th’s are all the rage apparently and mine was a doozy; BBQ brekky at the rellies in Sydney before heading off to the game with members tickets.

    The breakfast was delicious, always good to catch up with my family. We opened






    Nevan turns 9
    by Mike250 on February 1st, 2009 in Family

    Just a year to go until we have a double digit child. How did it come to this? We’re not even thirty yet (those astute will realize I will be in four days… it matters not).

    This was a quiet birthday compared to previous years. It’s not that we didn’t want to celebrate hard, it was more like taking a breath before something big. We were about to show up, un-expected at the doorstep of family in the USA and they didn’t know it.
