Steven flew to Melbourn about an hour ago to attend a conference for two days. We have not been apart in years and it feels very odd for him to be so far away and for us be here without him in Sydney. So here I am with Callum and Conrad,  they doing homework and me doing work and playing all the music Steven and I listened to 27 years ago. This of course makes  me even more aware that he is not here. The worst thought is that Melbourne is so far away and it freaks me out a bit that he is on a plane without us.

Ronald Eldon Sexsmith (born 8 January 1964) is a Canadian singer-songwriter from St. Catharines, Ontario, currently based in Toronto.^[1] He started his own band when he was fourteen years old, and released the first recordings of his own material seven years later, in 1985. Some of the same artists who inspired Sexsmith—Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello, and John Hiatt—are now people whose praise he has won.
