ashes to ashes, desk to desk

a great australia day weekend has passed, and it’s back to work on a
tuesday morning. i’m sitting here listening to ms neko case speak of
lady pilots and stinging bees, and planning my activities for the
week. some music. some running. maybe a movie. definately some
surfing. i’m even trying to claw my way back into rock climbing this
week too. all very worthy activities, i feel.

of late i’ve noticed people seem so concerned about preserving life;
about lengthening it. i’ve been thinking about this of late after a
recent spat of ‘be careful’ speeches, and i’m not all that plussed
about the length of life, because we’re kidding ourselves if we think
we can control that. don’t get me wrong, i’ll take what i can get,
but i won’t be arguing over seconds as long as i keep trying to get as
much fun out of it as i can. cane it. wh00t.
