I hope you Aussie blokes are livin’ it up without me. You better be having fun, drinking, beaching, waving all those federation flags, ooohing and ahhing at the fireworks… everything I wanted to be there for. And you better save me some stickers or little minature flags or something. I love that stuff. You hopefully have already, since for you it’s almost over. What is it about 7:30 pm there now? You still got more fireworks. Let me tell ya, though: I am so ready to be there with you… it’s just that I’m not ready to leave.

Funny thing that.
