I am enjoying a very long ride into the sunset. The evenings may be long, but they are peaceful and cool. The mornings used to be confusing, and the afternoons were always hectic. When night falls, I shall say, "Turn down an empty glass".

The value of everything
I used to take my body and its blessings for granted. Then one day, I began to lose my sight. I got it back after an operation, and I realised how wonderful it is to be able to see. Recently, I was taken to hospital for open heart surgery. I came out of...

Family
Happily married for the past 24 years, and we have been blessed with great wealth in the form of our two lovely children.
Education
It's been a long, winding, but exhilarating journey. I started off by completing my Bachelor's and Master's in English Literature. Then I trained in English as a Second Language. Then I moved to Computing. I have just completed a Bachelor of Education in Computing from the University of New England, in Armidale, New South Wales.
Goals
To keep studying, and to continue in the job that I started all the way back in 1980: teaching.
People I'd like to meet
Anyone who can join me in my journey. There are many miles to travel, but there are hidden treasures everywhere. All we have to do is to take the time to look for them.

Posted 11:55 pm June 23rd, 2008Hi Jacob, i found your profile by typing in the word Australia. I see by your profile that your hometown is based in Sydney Australia. I have been to Sydney a couple of times but it is a little too fast paced for my liking. I am used to the more lay back style of Brisbane. I too enjoy the Cricket, mainly the limited overs matches but not 20/20 rather the full 50 overs match there are too many changes happening in the game for my liking, if its not broken don't fix it thats what i say. Take care mate nice to see another Aussie on the site.
