The Brisbane Lions are second on the AFL ladder after 18 rounds.
Let that sink in.
Regardless of what happens from here that pretty much wraps up coach of the year.
And I was wrong about the Western Bulldogs and the ‘sack a coach’ winning ploy.
I think any underdog team in a grand final should seriously consider sacking their coach in the week leading up to the game. Apparently it’s guaranteed they’d win.

Watching The World

Sitting on the veranda watching the world go by.

Have I ever mentioned that I love cities?

No vanilla slice, (or scrolls), but a very acceptable florentine.

Willow Weep For Me by Clifford Brown with Max Roach

Thabiti Anyabwile, our featured speaker at the Gospel Worker’s conference at Queensland Theological College mentioned that his ‘desert island disc’ type choice was Clifford Brown with Strings.
I’ve had a copy of this for a long, long time.
Thanks to iTunes, where I’ve stored all my ripped, downloaded and online music, it turns out the last time I played it was in 2010, so listening again tonight is like a visit from an old friend.
The later at night you play this album the better.

Willow Weep For Me is an old standard that I’m less familiar with, so Brown’s recording is the version that I think of as my default rendition of the tune.

Different Platform, Same Train

Today’s full attendance at the QTC Gospel Worker’s Study Week, which finished with a dinner and panel question time means that I’m at Central Station waiting for a train that leaves two minutes earlier than the one I caught at Roma Street last night.

Back tomorrow for sessions that will conclude around lunchtime.
