Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: All right, all right, all right, Yes, indeed, you are
- 0:07Speaker 1: the author of your story, of your journal. In this journal,
- 0:11Speaker 1: you will get to know yourself better, and who better
- 0:14Speaker 1: to get to know.
- 0:16Speaker 2: Halloween. It's a good night, but it certainly comes with
- 0:19Speaker 2: a bit of stress, doesn't it. School pick up, and
- 0:21Speaker 2: then soccer practice, and then trying to get some real
- 0:24Speaker 2: food into the kids before they gorge themselves on lollies
- 0:27Speaker 2: while the other kids are knocking on the door asking
- 0:30Speaker 2: for lollies. Then getting three kids and mom and dad
- 0:32Speaker 2: dress with makeup and hair paint. It's a lot. The
- 0:35Speaker 2: one job I shouldn't have been put in charge of
- 0:38Speaker 2: is the hairspray. My wife said you need to use
- 0:40Speaker 2: a towel. I said, no, I don't. Turns out I
- 0:43Speaker 2: did as I pushed the triggers frade it all over
- 0:45Speaker 2: Brendo's fresh makeup. But with that, Sarah's outfit really jumped
- 0:49Speaker 2: up again, instantly turning into a convincing angry ghul Oh.
- 0:54Speaker 2: She said she was wild. She did all the makeup,
- 0:57Speaker 2: everything I spray painted in her face.
- 0:59Speaker 3: I saw here. She looked nothing like her go. She
- 1:01Speaker 3: looked like a very cool Daphne. She really suited.
- 1:06Speaker 4: That the makeup she did on Brando incredible.
- 1:13Speaker 2: I touched it up. It came full circle. We were
- 1:15Speaker 2: happy again.
- 1:17Speaker 3: What have we learned about this? Just stay out of
- 1:19Speaker 3: logistics next year after yourself.
- 1:22Speaker 1: That was the problem.
- 1:23Speaker 2: I was staying too far out of the logious sics
- 1:25Speaker 2: with me. For her, I was in the beer fridge again.
- 1:31Speaker 4: A Hi Journal, It's been almost a week since we
- 1:33Speaker 4: arrived home from our mind blowing, breath taking unforgettable work
- 1:36Speaker 4: trip to New York with Tony's Big Spender winner Terresa,
- 1:39Speaker 4: who shopped up a big storm with her daughter Grace.
- 1:41Speaker 4: I've already talked about the beautiful bond they share and
- 1:43Speaker 4: sing them laugh together after such a rough year for
- 1:46Speaker 4: both of them. They brought tears to my eyes. But
- 1:47Speaker 4: this week I find myself writing about something even more gorgeous,
- 1:51Speaker 4: being home. As we flew into New Zealand, I looked
- 1:54Speaker 4: out the windows and saw the sun starting to peek
- 1:56Speaker 4: up over the rolling waves and then light up our
- 1:58Speaker 4: lush green rolling hills. When I stepped off that seventeen
- 2:01Speaker 4: rural yes thanks, When I stepped off that seventeen hour
- 2:05Speaker 4: flight and soaked up the sounds of key we accents
- 2:07Speaker 4: everywhere and breathe in that fresh, cool spring ear, I
- 2:10Speaker 4: started sneezing. Ah, yes, the pollen, my ellergies, it was
- 2:13Speaker 4: all there, as if my eyes weren't watery already. I
- 2:17Speaker 4: saw my wife and our two boys, who got up
- 2:19Speaker 4: early and surprised me at the airport, and they brought
- 2:22Speaker 4: our dog with them. And the only thing more overwhelming
- 2:25Speaker 4: was when I caught affliction of myself in the mirror
- 2:26Speaker 4: after such a long flight and full of hay fever
- 2:29Speaker 4: and happy tears, real pretty. As we got to our
- 2:32Speaker 4: house and the gate slid open and the unpacking and
- 2:34Speaker 4: washing began. Over the weekend, I was lucky enough to
- 2:36Speaker 4: catch up with my sister and her husband and kids
- 2:38Speaker 4: who happened to be in town, as well as friends
- 2:40Speaker 4: and my wife's family too, And it all reminded me
- 2:42Speaker 4: the only thing I love more than my home's who
- 2:44Speaker 4: I share it with.
- 2:45Speaker 3: Oh that's so lovely, Jace. I'm glad your dog came
- 2:48Speaker 3: to the airport. My dog has peg said with me.
- 2:50Speaker 3: I think I've been away too long and he's giving
- 2:52Speaker 3: me the cold shoulder. Last night really made it go
- 2:54Speaker 3: and pick them up.
- 2:55Speaker 4: Really, here's my shadow, He's only me lo on in
- 2:58Speaker 4: case I'll go somewhere again headed with me leaving.
- 3:01Speaker 2: My cat died.
- 3:07Speaker 3: At the time, and that was a long time ago,
- 3:09Speaker 3: and you still haven't told your children, so I hope
- 3:12Speaker 3: I told the kids. Dear Journal, Well, that was the
- 3:15Speaker 3: most rushed Halloween we've ever had. Our playing literally touchdown
- 3:18Speaker 3: at five pm last night, so it was a mad
- 3:20Speaker 3: dash to get the kids costumes on, get home, ditch
- 3:22Speaker 3: the suitcases and the washing, and a quick scramble to
- 3:25Speaker 3: find the costumes, and then to find where their friends
- 3:27Speaker 3: were to try and catch them up. What a fluster,
- 3:29Speaker 3: But I'm so glad that we made the effort. There
- 3:31Speaker 3: are lots of Kiwis that think Halloween is an overrated
- 3:34Speaker 3: Americanized tradition, but that's not what I saw last night.
- 3:37Speaker 3: I'll tell you what I saw. Neighbors smiling at each
- 3:40Speaker 3: other and actually interacting. I saw the excitable energy of
- 3:43Speaker 3: kids filling the streets. Cars were driving slower to be
- 3:46Speaker 3: mindful of the throngs of trick or treatise, shrieks of
- 3:49Speaker 3: delight as people saw each other and compared their costumes.
- 3:52Speaker 3: All I saw was joy, excitement, and happiness. And I
- 3:55Speaker 3: don't know what's not to love about that. I actually
- 3:57Speaker 3: think we need more days like Halloween that force people
- 4:00Speaker 3: out of the silos and to actually connect.
- 4:03Speaker 2: One Yeah, and just also walking around into people's properties
- 4:06Speaker 2: as good to just see how they live.
- 4:11Speaker 4: That's all we snapshot of our journals. Hope you've had
- 4:13Speaker 4: a good week and either way your weekend is even better.
