Holy smokes when we left to Australia and I started writing on this blog, I thought "who has the time to check my senseless meanderings on such important topics as meat pies and running over kangaroos." Turns out people are a little less self centered than I am. Sure I still wrote on the thing but mostly it was for Nikki and I to have a record of our travels and for our folks to keep updated. But hey, I'm glad people are entertained and it helped to not have to tell the same stories over and over again. As for updates, we have cleaned the house and fixed all the crap from the scumbags that rented from us for our first six months and are currently looking for some non-scumbags. So, if you know anyone looking for a rental in Tacoma... let me know.
In other news, we head back down under in 3 days and it is a strange feeling. After spending 2 months being freeloaders among various places it will be nice to get back to "our place" but it also isn't the same as "going home" since it is kind of just a place we hang out while touring various places. It will be great to see our Aussie friends but sad to leave all the great people we've hung out with here at our two different homes. I'm jazzed for our trip to Tasmania in March and am trying to work something out for February (possibly a drive up the east coast Sydney to South Kempsey). I also really want to go back to Adelaide and do some fishing with Michael and eat some of Jane's good cooking. Hopefully we can steer clear of the roos. It will however be tough to go back to our $150 IKEA pile of crap couch. Good thing we don't spend much time in the apartment. It will be nice to throw the old shorts and flip-flops back on and enjoy the weather. I'm also looking forward to learning how to surf and since it'll be hot as hell it should be good timing. Heck, the more I write on this the more excited I get to get back to Australia again. Sure, the American bank account may be shot by the time we get back (thanks to those scum-bag renters)... but what the hell, no economic crisis will be able to take these experiences away.
One final note, although the Bears (Tyler, Abby, Wyatt, and I's favorite football team) may have not made the playoffs, they are just waiting in the wings for me to get back. I'd like to make an early prediction for next year's season and predict a perfect 19-0 season for the Monster's of the Midway. I mean how screwed up is the NFL when he Cardinals make it to the Super Bowl?

It was a good post until the end. I'm pretty sure you are the ONLY bears fan in that family. And speaking of the bears, any chance of them going undefeated next year will end by week 3 or 4 (if it takes that long).
Wow, this crap is rather entertaining. anonymous neighbor
