Just the thing after a long sleep
- shock treatment! |

sleep
Sleep
can be elusive at the pointy end of life.
It’s often simply because you haven’t
exerted yourself enough to deserve a decent
night’s rest, but we both know that
sleep is most elusive when you need it most.
In my case the kiss of death for a restful
night’s sleep is knowing that I have
to be somewhere first thing in the morning,
especially an airport. In fact, add travel
to the equation and I not only sleep badly
but I’m guaranteed to have to get
up at least half a dozen times to have a
pee.
It may sound radical, but I’m beginning
to wonder if we have more than one brain.
Maybe there are other lesser or virtual
brains governing crucial body parts down
south that conspire with – or against
– the main, or federal brain. It would
make sense. Why would the capital brain,
way up north at the top end of the body,
even want know all the gruesome details,
the ins and outs, of the bladder and the
colon? It would make more sense to have
some dedicated regional brain in the area
that’s more acquainted with the engineering
and whose only concern is the prompt disposal
of the body’s waste products.
I have a slow metabolism. (You know where
this is going, Adam). One thing that is
bound to get my tardy peristalsis grinding
into action is the seemingly innocuous act
of navigation. Perhaps it’s an argument
to invest in a GPS, but if I’m going
somewhere that requires Google Maps, or,
heaven help me, the Melways, the first thing
I have to do when I arrive at my destination
is go to the toilet and have a dump. Or
not – it’s.. read

Toolbox -The etiquette of the X
In this world of serial monogamy where people
split with gay abandon, where marriages
last no longer than most people can hold
their breath, in a milieu awash with the
mass publicity of the Kardashians and Cruises
and where access protocols are negotiated
with the help of lawyers, counsellors and
complicit media, it seems common to see
partners in various states of current, future
or prior relationship consorting in a most
amicable manner. Those who aren’t
are no doubt nursing the financial ruin
of a settlement that has been obtained acrimoniously
and expensively. I have a lawyer uncle who
annually travels for several weeks aboard
a rather large cruise ship called ‘The
World’ as a gift of gratitude for
a settlement he obtained. To be more accurate,
it isn’t a cruise ship, but rather
the world’s largest private yacht
with around two hundred residences. Life
