Sorry we’ve been pretty MIA on the blog recently.  It’s certainly not because nothing has been happening.  This has probably been one of the most intense few weeks in a long time.  Make that most intense few months, I guess. As many of you know, last week we found out that my boss, Tom Russell, [...]

It’s been a while since we last posted, so I thought I’d throw out a few interesting nuggets: Most Interesting Person: Yesterday I met an older gentleman named Neil who is world renowned for training rescue and caedavor dogs.  He lives right outside Newcastle in the mountains.

We received an e-mail today letting us know that our visa has been granted. There are no more major obstacles to our move, so we plan to leave in early September. Our visa starts September 1 and lasts for a year, after which we’ll have to reapply. I can’t tell you how happy (and sad) [...]
