Lately I've been Commonwealth Gamed, Grand Finalled, now McKilloped. In between I've been Brumbied, as in fire alerted, and plague locussed. I've been Caulfield Cupped, and I'm soon to be Melbourne Cupped. I was Chilean minered. Is it any wonder I'm hype weary?
I heard the other day that a Buddhist objective is to detach emotionally from things that you have no control over. I'm not Buddhist, but it makes sense. This week will test me. I believe there's to be an Afghanistan war debate in parliament. It's several years late, but I'm all ears. I'll try to listen with an open mind. Up until now I haven't understood the need for our part in what is military occupation of another country. The stopping of terrorist training angle doesn't wash with me. Not so far. Bring it on.

Alex, I have no real connection. I just am friends with several Italian Australians around Gembrook and I love their stories. Great people.
Hi Carey
I'm a slow learner. I have in the past few days learned how to connect with this Blogger network. Looking forward to enjoying your posts now with a little more regularity.
Love your take on the hype and spin that engulfs us all.
Best wishes
Vince
