Friday Fun Link – 10 Highlights of Our Moon Palace Cancun Vacation #ThePalaceLife

1. Parasailing We went parasailing on the Cancun beach in front of the Moon Palace’s sister resort, Beach Palace.  Three people. Twenty Minutes. $270 USD.  Amazing Experience = Priceless. 😉 2. Break Dance Show Surprise  The break dance show at Sunrise was one of the best evening shows we saw, made even better at the […]

10 Random Thoughts About Our Recent @palaceresorts Moon Palace Cancun Vacation #thepalacelife

1. Two week all-inclusive vacations are more than 2x better than one week all-inclusive vacations! 2. Shea and I are big fans of trying new resorts, new destinations and even new resort companies with every trip we take. But Moon Palace is probably the first resort I’d consider returning to as it nails pretty much everything on my […]

Friday Fun Link – This Is My Favourite Photo of Mark Messier

After years without quite making it to the ultimate victory, in 1984, only one year after Wayne Gretzky was made his Captain, Mark Messier was drinking from the Stanley Cup. Some other fun facts about Gretzky, Messier and their intertwined  destinies: * Messier had 37 points in his first season in the NHL and Gretzky had […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – “We’ve Woken Up This Party!” @ryanmeili 2013 Video #skndpldr #skpoli

This is a video I made in the lead-up to the 2013 Sask NDP Leadership Vote. And honestly, do I detect an echo? So many of the things that Ryan led in during in the last leadership race are areas where he’s once again leading in – fundraising, “fun”raising, engaging members, online engagement, etc. etc. etc. […]

Do You Vote For The Crest on The Front or the Name on The Back? A Direct Appeal To @sask_NDP Members Filling Out Their #skndpldr Ballots #skpoli

(The original FB thread has been deleted but I’m posting this with the author’s permission.)    This post is ridiculously long so here’s the TL;DR version: Although there is a wide spectrum of engagement by all Sask NDP members, it generally divides between those who are very engaged and those who are less engaged. The […]

Unbroken: The Snowboard Life of Mark McMorris

As the big air competition begins in the Olympics tonight, this is a pretty amazing documentary. Fun friend-of-a-friend name-dropping trivia: The filmmaker is Mark McMorris’ manager who is married to a girl that I used to babysit.  My parents even attended their wedding but my invitation got lost in the mail. 😉

Music Monday – “Remember me/Don’t let it make you cry/For even if I’m far away/I hold you in my heart/I sing a secret song to you each night we are apart” #ThePalaceLife

One week until we go to Mexico and the preparations are heating up (you’d think staying for two weeks instead of one simply means you pack twice as many bathing suits but unfortunately, that’s not the case!) Plus we’ve got a busy week ahead of us with a variety of appointments, meetings (though I found […]

100 Reasons I’m Supporting @ryanmeili for #skndpldr #skpoli

There’s half a dozen reasons I support Ryan in a single photo: 1) he’s now an MLA, 2) he spends a lot of time in the Legislative Library researching and reading, 3) he’s (probably) the only current MLA who has a book in that same library, 4) so many people I knew in that room […]
