The 9-5 option is for the meeker, milder folk who can't "buck up" and be real men and women who live their dreams and lead by example.

Thank goodness the two countries spent most of my life in (Australia and the good ole USA) who were forged by men and women who were brave enough to pick up their families and go and look for better lives.

I enjoyed your web site Dennis. I see you have the youngest child with you on your trips and your two teenage daughters live in the city. Sort of contradicts your opening sentence or did I get that wrong?
