oh well

I have been informed that, despite a very warm shower at the sulphur pools, and a long, hot bath with antibacterial soap here at home, I retain a faint aroma of essence of (stinky)sulphur from my adventure yesterday.

I am off to torment the citizens of the greater Aukland area. Ta ta.

Long day & lots of fun

I am very tired all of a sudden, but wanted to post this pic of the two of us. More later. Good night. (It is 10:12 pm here)

Just so you know

Going out for a mud bath.....be back soon!

A day in the park

Here's a few pictures taken when we went to the park. It was a fun afternoon.

Coroner's report

The Henderson coroner released the cause of death of the murdered basketball. "Judging by these punture wounds, I am reasonably certain the basketball was stabbed viciously numerous times with a large kitchen knife."

Some people are questioning where the kitchen knife came from. Well, obviously it came from a kitchen, but how did it get to the van? Was this a crime of passion or a premeditated attack?

The investigation continues. If you have any information about this crime, please leave a commenty at the end of this news story.

This just in

Sources who asked to have their identities protected have informed this journalist that the murder occurred during an attempted break-in. It seems that the basketball (who evidently was not so innocent as first reported) was caught by the owner of a certain Toyota van. Apparently the grand theft auto (van) was interrupted by the van owner when said van owner approached the van to load children inside and take them to school. When the vehicle was started, and put into reverse, it became evident that something was lodged in the wheel well. Despite numerous attempts on the part of the van owner to persuade the basketball to leave the scene of the attempted theft, the basketball refused to budge. The van owner was overheard declaring "I have got to get these kids to school and I really don't have time for this!" Shortly thereafter, the deflated carcass of the basketball was found tossed in the yard like yesterday's rubbish.

It is unknown at this time whether charges will be brought against the van owner. Neighbors seemed to feel the basketball "got what was coming to him! He had no business being where he was in the first place."

We interrupt this blog to bring you a special report

There has been what appears to be a senseless murder in the neighborhood. Residents are shocked and dismayed at the untimely demise of this innocent basketball. "Everyone loved him," said a grieving bystander. "Who could do such a thing?"
