Haven’t kids had enough time off this year? Why do they have to have more bloody skool holidays?

Aussie beach towns just suck during holidays, soooooo many people!!!

Usually the beach looks like this:

But instead, looks something like this (OK, not this bad but on the weekend it was close):

That is why during our summer break (all of December and January) I try and get over to Colorado and visit Kip.

This morning I walked down to the beach for my morning swim and I nearly lost my towel and shorts because there were sooooo many darn people. Last night when I drove in to my buildings garage it too me 10 minutes to park because the two people in front of me seemed like they had never parked a car before – grrrrr.

Well, I am sitting here, looking at the busy beach wearing nothing but my speedos… life really isn’t that bad is it?

Maybe I should see if there are any Dad’s out there looking to get away from the wife and kids for some discrete fun? That would bring a smile to my face and make me less grumpy.  And I think I’d be a good release for any Dad/Family Guy to unwind for a little bit.

Finally I sacked up and decided what to do with my trip out of the US and I’m off to Sydney for 12 days or so.

I had some wonderful offers, thank you to everyone who emailed me with generous offers.

I’ve got a new photographer, Mark, who is an old mate from Brissy who has just moved to Sydney and I’m going to crash at his place and spend some time at the beach.  I fly out tomorrow and get into Sydney on Saturday and the forecast is for 40 degrees on Sunday.  The heat is going to kill me but all the more reason to speedo it up.

Hopefully I’ll have some time to work between the beach and the Sydney nightlife.
