Dare to DREAM.

It was an honour to do the Opening Keynote at the first ever Aiming Low Non-Conference...and I wasn't nervous at all. I actually got everyone to sing the original Star Trek theme whilst The Huz sorted out the audio-visual. That was kinda epic.

And then there was this:

1. Sit on your good hand.

2. Shut one eye.

3. Using your other hand, tweet:  "I can. #NonCon"



And then we used both our hands to give the incredibly feisty Anissa Mayhew a round of applause for getting us together at the NonCon. She made her dream come true.

If she can, you can too.

The Dare.

"Dad can you drive me to my friend's house please?"

"Sure, just let me get dressed." The Huz was wearing naught but his flip-flops and a sarong. For those who know not what a sarong is, it's a piece of pretty cloth wrapped around the waist and worn by men and women alike in South East Asia. Rather like a skirt. Yes, his nipples were showing.

So of course I said, "I dare you to go wearing that." He rolled his eyes and smiled, picked up the car keys and headed for the garage with the 12 year old boy in tow.

"I'm prolly going to tweet this!!!" I shouted after him. The Huz just laughed.


He had that evil twinkle. It reminded me of that thing he did with that bucket...

An hour later he came back and said he'd been to the shop on the way home to pick up some music equipment. The Huz asked them for a discount since he was only wearing a sarong. And they gave it to him. Oh yes they did. And he said they offered him a further 10% off if he was naked.

I dunno, I think he's making that last bit up....

I sat in my garden and drew this on my iPad, using Paper and a Wacom Bamboo stylus.
