Final time trying
There are books we have all tried, and failed, to get through. There is often a sense of frustration attached, particularly if they’re well regarded, or worse, recommended. There are a few on my list, but the one that sticks out like a sore thumb is Meditations, by Marcus Aurelius. There really is no book…

Pre-game
We went to the basketball this evening, all five of us, including Occi. She did great considering it’s a loud environment, and definitely performed better than the visiting Phoenix Suns (they got blown out by 20+ points). Usually we turn up just as the game is about to start, despite only living a 12 minute…

Footballer, Teacher, Soldier, Prisoner?
I had a friend at primary and middle school called Oscar Jenkins. When I moved for high school, I never really saw him again, although he did leave quite an impression. He was a terrific footballer and cricketer, and there were quite a few to pick from in my year level. Not only was he…

All American
Today my future brother in law and I went for an All American afternoon. It was a wild ride. It all started at lunchtime, where we dined out at apparently one of Denver’s premier Mexican restaurants. They say “location, location, location” when it comes to the Real Estate industry, but when it comes to dining…

Prince of Dune
It’s not really a Christmas Movie, but we watched Prince of Egypt this evening. What struck me was how much it reminded me of another movie I had seen, 10 months earlier. Dune is a good movie, and there are obviously a lot of differences. But beyond the desert backdrop, the idea of an enslaved…

Dark Side
I am ashamed to admit it, but I have embraced the Darkness, and decided to add a Pop-Up to my Home Page. I know they’re not always the most popular, but I realised that I have been getting a few people message me about how they went to my blog, liked it, read a few…

Why I started this blog
I don’t really use Social Media anymore; I’m too young for Facebook, too old for SnapChat, too normie for Discord and too boring for Instagram. While this buys me back time and peace of mind, it means that it can sometimes be difficult to share my life with my friends and family outside of phone calls and in-person meetups. As I live overseas, this can be a difficulty.
With this in mind, and inspired my friend Dan Cullum (check out his fantastic site HERE), I have started a daily blog. Not only will I be able to share my ideas, news, and stories to friends and family, but it serves as a time capsule as I move through life. In the future, I look forward to seeing how my views, opinions, and ideas change over time. At the very least, it is an exercise in discipline, and may be of interest to my descendants at some time in the future.
While I imagine most followers of this blog will be friends and family, all are welcome to subscribe. Feel free to email at harry@harrywetherall.com, I reply to every message, and would love to hear from you.
