Music Monday – “We’re gonna spite our noses/Right off of our faces/There won’t be nothin’ but big old hearts/Dancin’ in our eyes.”

Any woman who would let me play this song as a “Last Dance” song at the end of the night during our wedding reception (to counter-point our first dance song) is okay by me. Happy Valentine’s Day, Shea! Love you very much! “In Spite Of Ourselves” – John Prine

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Fantasyland Hotel (February 2014)

With international travel still a bit uncertain (especially if you ended up having to extend your stay due to a positive test at the destination or isolate when you got home), we’ve decided to book a trip to Edmonton where we haven’t been since 2014. We leave in a week and are getting pretty excited…

Music Monday – “And we can still get information/Reading all about inflation/And you’re never gonna be out of reach/There’s a call-box on the beach”

Shea’s folks are in for appointments and staying at a hotel so we popped over for a swim and a visit. For some reason the song below kept running through my head (and that, in turn, bringing back fond memories of season-ending party at my hometown pool where all the lifeguards did a poolside dance […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Kauai/Maui Trip (January 2012)

A co-worker recently told me she’s going to Kauai and I am incredibly jealous. Kauai might actually be the single most beautiful place I’ve been on this earth and Shea still says Anini Beach is one of her favourite beaches of all-time. Here’s a montage video I made of our trip which had eight days […]

We Have A Lot of Snow This Year!

I always had this sneaking suspicion that my memories of massively high snowbanks as a kid was influenced by the fact that I was, well, a kid, at the time and therefore, a medium-sized snowbank would’ve seemed like a mountain. Although a lot rarer than I remember as a kid, this year’s accumulated snowfall (and […]

Music Monday – “Ain’t singin’ for Pepsi/Ain’t singin’ for Coke/I don’t sing for nobody Makes me look like a joke/This note’s for you”

There’s some irony that Warner Brothers Music Group won’t allow me to embed this anti-corporate sponsorship song on my blog. But worth a click-thru to watch a classic Neil Young song… “This Note’s For You” – Neil Young

Saturday Snap – Life’s Too Short For Unsalted Butter

In light of yesterday’s post where I happened to share the screenshot a portion of a life advice article that said we should eat salted butter as life is too short for unsalted, I thought I’d post a pic I happened to snap at Safeway recently. Saying “life is too short for unsalted butter” may […]
