G'day and welcome to Oz

I have neglected my blog lately because I was bidding adieu to my family; traveling to see friends; and then moving to Adelaide, Australia -- my own personal Bizarro World, where the veneer is familiar but below the surface is a whole new world. I am learning what food is available in grocery stores; what size clothing I wear here; why people put sausages in a slice of bread rather than a bun; being annoyed at the Internet; and mostly, TRYING to figure out what on earth these people are saying! The accent is cute, yes, (is it condescending to call it "cute"?) but many of the expressions are completely beyond me! We'll get into those later. I just wanted to announce that I'm back!

And now I'm going to go watch "Brothers & Sisters." I think I might like this show. This is the third time I've watched it and so I guess it is becoming a habit.
