Window Con

I’m so excited! I’ve been waiting for this day for three years now. January 23, 2020. Some people know it as Thursday. I know it as the day of Window Con. A convention all about windows that happens once every three years. It’s so much fun. 2017 was my first ever Window Con, and I …

Boats Aren’t Real

People always say the world is getting smaller, and I think that’s a real shame. We used to have such a desire for adventure and discovery as a species, but it just seems to have gone away. Humanity went to the moon, and then we kind of just gave up, decided there wasn’t anything else …

Wedding Car Breakdown

I’m the owner of a wedding car company in Melbourne. Having successfully run this business for over twenty years, I’ve been fortunate enough to experience some of the happiest moments of hundreds of people’s lives. I think in twenty years, I can count on one hand the amount of times anything has gone wrong. Unfortunately, …

Plumbing Without Conflict

It’s happened again! Another bestseller slipping through my fingers, falling to another agent that has snatched it up and sold it for thousands of dollars at auction. Why do you do this to yourself, Janet? You should have known better. Obviously the public wants to read about mechanics who at the very end of the …
