Late Night Boring Stuff

I cant help myself. Ive got no self-control. Recently, I promised myself I would not buy anything at Dymocks Bookstore but walked out with a copy of 'The Birth of Plenty: How the Prosperity of the Modern World was Created' By William Bernstein.

I read his book 'Against the Gods - The History of Risk Management' a couple of years ago. Bernstein is much like my other favourite author - Phillip Yancey ('Whats so Amazing about grace' etc) - the writing style is so fluid and so eay to read - you can't put the book down (Sense my envy?).

Anyhow - I'm sitting here with a laptop 'Watching this is your life' featuring the Crocodile Hunter - Steve Irwin.

He is so funny...dont worry - I wont be taking any of his advice on child-minding!. I remember the first time I watched the show - he was scuba diving with sharks in his safari suit and I thought he a was an idiot! Since then he really has grown on me. Apart from feeding his kids to the crocs he is a great Australian icon.
