My father’s cousin was mentioned in todays paper… Strangely enough he was mentioned in the Obituary in the Sydney Morning Herald for John Marsden. I had forgotten this, but back when Garry was the Police Minister he stated that John Marsden was not under investigation. Garry West was a minister in the Liberal/National Party state government a bit over 10 years back.

What always ammused me was that Garry was also my ultimate boss at one stage when I was working at Pacific Power. I am sure almost no-one knew that we were related… Probably better that way. Not that he helped me at all. I had my job before he became minister for energy, and I think he was rather surprised when he found I was working there.

I upgraded my copy of Norton’s Antivirus a few days back, and I am now doing a full scan. This is supposed to run once a week, but I always seem to cancel it. Anyway I am letting it run today… It started at 8pm and it is now just after 11pm… and it has scanned something like 475,000 files. That is a LOT. And it has not finished. It will be interesting to see the results tomorrow.
