Music Monday – “Take me to the place where you go/Where nobody knows/If it’s night or day/Please don’t put your life in the hands/Of a rock ‘n’ roll band/Who’ll throw it all away.”

“(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” was released thirty years ago this week and after years of acrimony, Oasis is in the middle of a massive reunion tour with rumours that it’s going to be extended into 2026. One of the major highlights of my entire life was being in England in fall 1995 during the […]

Politically Active Week Continues…

Completely unintentional but I even styled my hair like Charlie’s! Very powerful presenation about the current situation with the United States and many other related topics – AI, soy beans, China, higher education, Indigenous rights and more.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Jan Lake Lodge (July 2014)

With the wildfires burning in northern Saskatchewan (and really, across much of Canada’s north), I can’t help but think of the handful of times I’ve been able to travel to the north of the province for vacations or even work. This was a fishing trip we did with Shea’s family in 2014.

Music Monday – “My beautiful and beloved Mexico/Should I die far from you/Let them say I’m asleep and/Bring me back to you”

I know Cinco de Mayo is more of a holiday to sell beer in the US & Canada than anything important in Mexico. But this song about Mexican independence (September 16) is the one I’m posting today anyhow… “Mexico Lindo y Querido” – Vincente Fernandez

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Isla Mujeres Ferry (February 2020)

Shea and I have done three or four day trips to Isla Mujeres when we’ve stayed at all-inclusives in the Cancun area over the years. And every time, we come home and say “That was the best part of our trip – we should stay there for our whole trip sometime!” Isla Mujeres is a […]

Friday Fun Link – Isla Contoy

We’ll be visiting Isla Mujeres from March 2 to 9 and this will be the first time we haven’t stayed at an all-inclusive in all our various trips to Mexico/Cuba/Dominican Republic over the past 25 years. One thing we might do is take a boat trip to an ecologically protected, undeveloped island…
