"The Ledge" is introduced... November 17, 2004

In a series of emails where both our fearless Stephen and Joni whined like small children about how much they were working in their respective jobs, and how things were about to spin wickedly out of control into the abyss of work-related chaos, the concept of being out on a ledge was kicked out by Sir Stephen.

Joni well and duly picked up the ball and ran with it, offering to bring out an imaginary ice chest of beer, and perch beside Stephen on this intangible ledge. They still talk about going up to their ledge as the happy place where they can escape that which is most troubling them about work, etc.

Below is a photo taken from the actual ledge in Melbourne atop the Rialto Tower. In the distance is the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) the Yarra River, St. Paul's Cathedral, Flinders Street Station, the Southbank, and a million other Melbourne landmarks. Also in the picture somewhere is the Young and Jackson's Hotel - one of the coolest bars in all of Melbourne, and one of Stephen and Joni's favorite places in the whole wide world! (Try their house naked ale... you won't regret it. Though what you do with your own clothes is up to you...)
