Throwback Thursday – #tbt – CUPE Convention (March 2015)

I’ve spent a few days at the CUPE Sask convention this week and I honestly thought it was my first time attending but turns out my Covid brain fog is real because I found a pic I took when I was there in 2015. It’s of Sask Party Minister, Don Morgan, trying to be relatable […]

Happy International Women’s Day!

I need to get a more recent photo of the four most important women in my life! Words can’t capture how much all four of them do in so many ways (yes even Sasha!) to make all of our lives better.

Secular Sunday – “That’s God Blowing Your Love Around The World”

Sunday March 5 is our 20th wedding anniversary and there’s a fitting story from our Mexican Beach Wedding for Secular Sunday. We used a wedding coordinator in Mexico to make arrangements including specifically requesting a non-religious officiant. The guy showed up the day of our ceremony and it was clear that he actually was *quite* […]

Saturday Snap – Varadero Sunset

Yes, we were in the Mayan Riviera, not Varadero. Yes, I technically quit drinking booze at the end of last August (but with the caveat that I *mostly* quit which allows me to still imbibe occasionally – or more than occasionally if I’m at an all-inclusive resort!) But yes, this drink we invented a few […]

Drive From Cancun Airport to Tulum

The resort we were just at was almost all the way to Tulum (which is two hours south of Cancun.). Our resort was about an hour and a half south of the Cancun airport.

Music Monday – “Sheets of empty canvas/Untouched sheets of clay/Were laid spread out before me/As her body once did/All five horizons/Revolved around her soul/As the earth to the sun”

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Foam Party (March 2019)

It looks like fun but there were a couple times during the Foam Party at Hyatt Ziva in Cancun when I felt absolute terror – no lie. The foam would get so thick and high near the foam cannon that it would encompass you and you literally couldn’t breathe! Hopefully I do better at the […]

Music Monday – “I just wanna feel real love/Feel the home that I live in/’Cause I got too much life/Running through my veins/Going to waste”

When Shea and I got married on the beach in Mexico in 2003, this song was in heavy rotation on one of the music channels in our hotel room. (In fact, I briefly thought she might call off the wedding to pursue Robbie Williams. Or if she didn’t, I might as he’s just that damn […]
