I bought Tim a few gifts and gave him two this morning. I'll give him the rest this evening. The first gift was a CD that I thought he might enjoy. It's an excellent soundtrack from "A Rabbit-Proof Fence," the Golden Globe-nominated score by Peter Gabriel. I highly recommend the movie. It's a true story of hope and survival. At a time when it was Australian government policy to train aboriginal children as domestic workers and integrate them into white society, young Molly Craig decides to lead her little sister and cousin in a daring escape from their internment camp. Molly and the girls, part of what would become known as Australia's "Stolen Generations," must then elude the authorities on a dangerous 1,500-mile adventure along the rabbit-proof fence that bisects the continent and will lead them home. The film is a beautiful testament to the undying strength of the human spirit.
Tim's second present was a book about Sydney (area) dining. We like to eat out, but it's difficult to know what's good in a new area. It will be fun to check out the recommendations.
FYI... Zoë received a medal of achievement with highest distinction for her honors research project in Psychology. (I hope I got that correct.)

Happy belated birthday, Tim. I hit 50 two years ago. I think it's time to start counting backwords.
Hope you had a great day.
P.S. Love the pics of the birds.
