Music Monday – “I ain’t taking you home, I found a little place that’ll do/It’ll never match the beauty of a Tennessee spring/But it’s something new”

One of my favourite things about listening to music is hearing a song that catches you just right and you like it so much, you end up playing it repeatedly. That was me with this song this past weekend… “One More Night in Brooklyn” – Justin Townes Earle

A Memorable Way to Decorate a 2020 Christmas Tree

Between the four of us, we’ve accumulated numerous masks over the last few months. Shea’s dad suggested we could use them to make a very memorable 2020 Christmas photo (and this doesn’t even include all the ones we have stored in vehicles and stuffed in jackets and left at work!)

Music Monday – “Angel of Death/Monarch to the kingdom of the dead/Infamous butcher/Angel of Death”

Is it too early to start posting Christmas songs? 😉 “Last Christmas/Angel of Death” – Wham!/Slayer Mash-Up

One Crazy Unintended Consequence of Covid?

It’s never happened before but Shea and I are almost completely ready for Christmas and it’s not even December 1 yet! We put the tree up right after Remembrance Day after making the mistake of saying/spelling “When do you want to put up the T-R-E-E?” in front of a little grade two kid who we […]
