Music Monday – “He said ‘Son, you ever been to Vegas?’ I said ‘No’/He said ‘That’s where we’re gonna go, You need a change of pace’/And when we hit the strip with all the wedding chapels and the neon signs/He said ‘I left my wallet in El Segundo’ and proceeded to take two grand of mine/We made tracks to the Mandalay Bay hotel/Asked the bell boy if he’d take me and my monkey as well?”

Such a good song.  Loved the Robbie Williams documentary on Netflix too! “Me and My Monkey” – Robbie Williams

Saturday Snap – Some People Buy At Duty Free…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – First Dementia Signs (February 2018)

One good thing about being an obsessive journal keeper since right around the time I graduated high school (and that those journals, started in WordPerfect, have now all been digitized and are completely searchable.) So that’s how I know that the very first reference I made to my mom showing signs of dementia was in […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Snorkelling in Hawaii (January 2012)

So glad the tour guide on this snorkeling tour didn’t actually need a bribe to make sure he didn’t drop our water camera when he swam underneath us to take this unique photo! 😉

Top 20 Worst SNL Musical Performances

There’s a theory that one way to know you’re officially “old” is when you no longer recognize the majority of musical guests on Saturday Night Live. I probably hit that point 10 years ago or so but I still know most of these…unfortuantely.

Music Monday – “Take a trip from Canada/I want all of us to go/To my Island home/where Jah love forever flows”
