I've had this bit of paper hanging around my computer, in my 'to be actioned' pile for a while. It's just got some of my thoughts / memories of dad. I was thinking about these over the Christmas / new year period. For some strange reason, I don't want to loose these...

They're a bit random - they were just what was in my head at the time.

* Orienteering - love of the bush / outdoors
* Similar to me - comparing the men and women of the Paices; calmer, less easily flustered.
* Responsible / duty
* Caring / compassion?
* Cycling -> around, to and from the lakes. South Australian ride.
* Chess - "Do you want to take your move again?"
* Proof reading assignments, practicing presentations, mock job interviews
* Beach - body surfing. These days I spend some time every weekend at the beach or jogging in bushland (outdoors)
* Olive rationing [maximum of 3, then 4 until 5 at 50 years old!]
* The way he said "Oh; Kevin"
* "Are you talking about 'sexual intercourse'"
* "If it was funny I'd laugh too"
* "Have a think about that"
* Driving across Scrivener dam for the 2nd? time in the dark to my clarinet lesson... in the wide Ford, with the concrete walls that seemed very narrow...
* The one time he was late picking up from school after band... and hour late!
* Sermons, writing letters to politicians - road speed limits; land mines, etc.
* Advocacy of beliefs / what he thinks is right - BTA Brain Tumour Association; support - fun run, Canberra times article
* The 'pants incident' when leaving the hospital when he was very thin, weak, etc.

Also
- table tennis in the garage - letting the other player loose (having the skill to beat the opponent easily, but not, and helping them learn).
- speeding down to Coppins Crossing.
