Friday Fun Link – A Message From Michael
Of all the “inspirational” celebrity messages, sing-a-longs, and tips, I do believe this is my favourite… (And bonus, possibly the first time I’ve clearly heard the lyrics to this song in ~30 years I’ve been listening to it!) 🙂
RIP John Prine (1946-2020)
Covid-19 claims another famous singer. Rest in Peace John Prine.
Music Monday – “COVID-19/I swear you are mean/At this moment/I’m in quarantine”

Best Pandemic Books
Some stock up on toilet paper, some stock up on booze – why not stock up on reading material?
Music Monday – “Ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa/Ma ma se, ma ma sa/Ma ma coo sa”
Back from a week in Mexico and will likely do some resort-themed posts over the next few days starting with this one… And my big thought of the day is – I really have no idea why most Cancun resorts have a Michael Jackson impersonator as one of their nightly shows when you never see […]
