Music Monday – “I have lost my way/But I hear tell/About a heaven in Alberta/Where they’ve got all hell for a basement”

These aren’t my photos but I thought this montage of Alberta shots – in all its natural beauty and manmade ugliness – was appropriate with the big election coming up tomorrow. “All Hell For A Basement” – Big Sugar

Music Monday – “The world’s in trouble/There’s no communication/And everyone can say what they want to say/It never gets better anyway”

Music Monday – “There’s the progress we have found (when the rain)/A way to talk around the problem (when the children reign)/Building towered foresight (keep your conscience in the dark)/Isn’t anything at all (melt the statues in the park)/Buy the sky and sell the sky and bleed the sky and tell the sky”

Shea and I watched “The Dirt“, the new Netflix Motley Crue biopic this weekend. Lots of songs that were a soundtrack to my high school years for sure including this one… “Home Sweet Home” – Motley Crue

Music Monday – “So needless to say/I’m odds and ends/I’ll be stumbling away/Slowly learning that life is OK/Say after me/It’s no better to be safe than sorry

Music Monday – “Away from these memories, my life I must spend/Adios amigo, adios my friend”

Back from a one week all-inclusive holiday (even from blogging if you can believe it!) but lots to start catching up on – a review of our resort for sure (last year, it took me three weeks to cobble together a review of our resort – I wonder if I’ll be quicker this year?) Also […]
