Australian Goodness

The list of things I will miss when I move back grows daily.

Sunday Arts is a weekly ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corp) program that sets the bar very high when it comes to comprehensive investigation of the many details that form the Australian artistic landscape. 

Today's episode contained interviews with k.d. lang and Nigel Kennedy, a diarization of a temporary public art installation within an abandoned bus depot in suburban Melbourne, Rufus Wainwright singing "The Art Teacher" live, and a close look at Dr. Neil McEwan's efforts to transcribe portions of the 14th-century Rimini Antiphonal.

Sandy,

Exactly. I'm continuously amazed at how many things I missed (but had forgotten about to various degrees) when I returned to the US. The joy is in getting reacquainted with them. Yes, this includes vegemite (for me)! Are you a Rove fan, and/or did you watch Glasshouse when it was on? I loved trying to wrap my head around such unique Aussie comedy! Hope your time back Stateside is productive, but no longer than it has to be.
