The incedibly mundane and rare ramblings of Benji

So, the most hectic thing is nearly done. For a little while at least. No doubt something else crazy will come to take its place. It is good to be so close to the light at the end of this particular tunnel though. I think this is the most phone calls and emails I've ever sent outside of work. Hopefully big announcement Friday. I know you are all waiting I impatiently. All meaning probably no-one, I often feel like this blog is just a meditation to myself. Related, it occurred to me today to put my Twitter on holiday and cut down to just this and instagram until the new year. That could be interesting. If I do it.

My wife's writing is so solid. She is amusing and engaging. It is a shame she hasn't blogged for a while. It is much better than this. Hopefully she'll find time to write again soon, because I miss it, and I think she has thoughts worth sharing.

I always forget the Melbourne cup public holiday. Not a huge drama, since I work in New South Wales now. I still find it mystifying that we have a public holiday for a horse race. I think it is weird. You may have guessed, I'm not a fan of gambling. You're correct. I find horse racing bizarre. Most other sports seem to happily exist as a diversion or entertainment for people, but I have never met anyone who watches horse or dog racing without financial involvement, most likely because if you are not betting, it is fucking mind numbing. So those are my thoughts on the Melbourne cup.
