As as twentysomething journalist, however, it came as a shock to realise that I hadn’t left – couldn’t leave – all this behind me. At that age, you believe yourself invincible. You think the world will always be like this, that a life of working long hours and staying out late and barely eating and flitting from one rental flat to another is a permanent state.

He became the first Australian to make a major impact on the English game and by his retirement his trophy cabinet held five English league championships, an FA Cup and a European Cup winner’s medal, making him Australia’s most decorated footballer. 

In some ways Kikukawa is an old-school manufacturer. Utsuno wears the factory uniform over his shirt and tie and eats in the canteen with everyone else. Throughout the day chimes notify the factory and office staff of designated breaks and in pep talks to his employees, Utsuno stresses the importance of genba: the manufacturing frontline.

It didn’t look anything like a press brake, the dominant bending machine of metal fabrication. It also wasn’t a leaf (also called hand, or box and pan) brake, long a staple of roofing and architectural fabricators. But its operation did resemble that of a leaf brake, with a leaf (or beam) rotating upward to bend up (and at first, it was always up) a flange.

I got her home and ran her in the chute to examine her. I was lucky to have my old pardner, Jake, who had a supporting role, to help me. She was in fair condition and had only the lower corner incisors left. There was a healed lump at the angle of her jaw, her left horn curled back into the side of her head and the right horn swooped out gracefully to the northeast. She looked like she was directing traffic! But the reason she was at the sale barn, headed to the rendering plant, was her right eye. Cancer had enucleated it and the orbital area was the size of a small cantaloupe!

With solo pianist Dick Hyman Dick Hyman is a true national treasure whose career includes a nearly encyclopedic output of more than 100 albums, ranging from original piano and orchestral works to interpretations of classic American music, ragtime, and variants of stride piano. The 90-year-old pianist is rumored to never miss a note, and while that in no way defines his art, the rumor’s mere existence in the context of such demanding music speaks volumes of his technical mastery. Hyman was featured on the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis’ latest album, Handful of Keys, and these intimate solo performances at Dizzy’s Club are a perfect opportunity to see the master perform some of America’s greatest music up close and in person.

Adding my bilateral bursitis, Pablo’s bad back and my teenager’s loss of memory, my place looks like a World War I field hospital. It’s a hazard of country life.

The opening of the hospital was a great day for the health of the Hunter after 500 workers had toiled from 1985 on the Rankin Park site, among other things pouring 63,000 tonnes of cement, installing 12,000 ceiling lights and 380 toilets.

Copeland, near Gloucester, is now a village of about 300 people, but at the height of a goldrush in 1879 it had about 3000 people, a thriving town with eight pubs. There were some 51 mines operating in the area, which produced about 11 tons of gold, equating to about $400 million in today’s terms.
