Fantasy weekend of opulence in Sydney with best-friend-K and my dear Californian friend Sam, who finally came to visit me in Australia. Sammy's visit with me started with three fun but drizzly weekdays in Melbourne, so naturally Sydney - beautiful tart that she is - turned on some dazzlingly sunny weekend weather. Several months ago I'd impulse-bought tickets for b-f-K and me to see Cate Blanchett...

I got a great comment from an Australian reader on Friday's post . I'm going to excerpt some of his points and address them below, but I thought that first a quick geography lesson was in order. I feel certain that if I asked any of you to map a route from Adelaide to Darwin without going through Alice Springs you could do so as easily as you could give directions to the nearest Starbucks. But on the...

After a blogging absence, it seems apt that I restart with comment on a complete non story. On Wednesday, it was reported on Stuff and the NZ Herald that an Australian wine writer had potentially not tried some of the wines in his latest book.
