New Years Resolution

We have a joint New Year's resolution to post on the blog more often this year, so expect more frequent but shorter updates - at least until about mid-February, if success on past resolutions is any indication.

We are back in Melbourne. Marlys arrived on the 8th, Matt the 15th. Marlys came by way of Los Angeles, where she spent a day of beauty with our friend Anne. Matt came by way of Las Vegas, where he spend a weekend of (minor) debauchery with friends from law school. Needless to say, Marlys arrived fresh, Matt not so much.

The last two days we've been to the Australian Open after work. They have a deal where you buy a 5 day grounds pass that gets you into everything except the main arena. In the early rounds this is a great deal because the stars play on the side courts and you can watch them close up. And for those of you who think tennis is a gentlemanly sport, fans were so rowdy Tuesday night the police came in and used pepper spray on some of them. Watch out soccer hooligans, the fuzzball fans are here to kick ass!

Our friend Dave is in Oz for a much deserved vacation and, in addition to hitting the tennis with us, he and Marlys toured some wineries last weekend. He's in Sydney now and we are going to spend the weekend there with him.

Speaking of Hooligans, have you seen "Green Street Hooligans"? Maybe it's one to put on your DVD list. Also, "Juno" is a must-see. Glad to hear you arrived safely. Dave who?
