Amazingly, despite having an fantastic weekend in one of the most beautiful places in the world*, all of my three classes of serious problem have worsened, and it’s become clear that they are all much more my fault than I thought.

Awesome!

Silver lining – from a certain perspective, a better knowledge of my own role in bringing threefold ruin on myself verges on the empowering.

*Seriously, Lake Catani campground on Mt Buffalo, and the varying-difficulty walks to gorges and waterfalls and lookouts around it, must be seen to be believed. The fishing… not so much, at least this weekend. I have never been able to so honestly say that it didn’t matter though. I say it all the time, but I don’t really mean it. Three hours on the banks of the lake from before sunrise, watching the mountain wake up in utterly windless tranquility, I actually didn’t care that much about the hordes of trout jumping around and refusing to do anything more than lazily follow my lures.

So sorry Zorro thats so so tragic. And FDB, that sucks.

I’ve unexpectedly found myself in Melbourne this week – i know its super short notice but love to have a coffee with anyone who’s up for it tonight or tomorrow – Mark has my phone no.

PatWA:

“Before reading your news I was starting to respond to FDB…”

Yes, and before reading Zorronsky’s news I too was thinking about me. Ain’t perspective somethin’?

Really sorry to hear about it Zorro. I hope you’re doing okay.

Oh dear zorronsky, that’s terrible news. I remember you posting a few times in repsect of your daughter’s illness and one always hopes for the best.

I’m so sorry.

My sister was at her best friend’s funeral just last week gone for the same, it’s such a bloody awful & unforgiving disease.

Best wishes for you & your family at this very sad time.

They’re going to wipe out wild buffalo because they fart and burp? What next?

Sympathy for you and for your daughter’s loved ones, Zorronsky.

Treasured memories are poor compensation for the briefest shared moments.

I’m lost for words on this, sad, untimely end.
All the best Zorronsky.
