Congrats Michelle and Adam! (aka Mexican Wedded Bliss Is Better Than Mexican Prison Stress!)

You know you’ve exhausted every possible video on YouTube about your upcoming all-inclusive resort when you start delving into the whole sub-genre of wedding videos – glossy, professionally shot montages of all the expected scenes – the wedding party getting ready while drinking mimosas, the close-up of the rings, the awkward speeches. Okay, I have […]

Music Monday – “I don’t practice Santeria, I ain’t got no crystal ball/I had a million dollars but I’d, I’d spend it all.”

“Santeria” – Sublime

Friday Fun Link – Hyatt Ziva Cancun as seen from a drone

Have been spending a lot of time thinking about one of the great curses of tropical holidays – you usually book them six months or so in advance so you have no idea how the weather will be when you go! We don’t leave for a couple weeks but right now we’re in the midst […]

Music Monday – “And there’ll be sun, sun, sun all over our bodies/And sun, sun, sun all down our necks/And there’ll be sun, sun, sun all over our faces/And sun, sun, sun, so what the heck”

Hey look!  I went through an added an “allinclusive” tag to all my posts about various aspects of our all-inclusive holidays over the years to make them easier to find instead of just using the “holiday” tag which is a bit broader. I’m clearly getting excited with three weeks to go (and songs like the one […]

Is Ringo Starr The Best Drummer of All-Time?

Really enjoyed the Hawksley Workman drum workshop last night where, after a concert on Sunday that I didn’t make it to, he did a Monday night workshop where he showed a bit of his process in using the drums, was interviewed by a local drummer, and took audience questions. (Hard to believe I’ve been a […]

Music Monday – “Stick it up, mister, hear what I say, sir, yeah/Get your hands in the air, sir/And you will get no hurt, you say”

Countdown is on to our Mexico vacation – less than a month now! Plus the temperature is -35 and falling as I type this so our holiday can’t come fast enough. Maybe this song can warm me up? “54-46 – That’s My Number” – Toots and the Maytals

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Walk Through of Our Room at Moon Palace, Cancun (February 2018)

So in exactly one month, we’ll be on our way to Cancun…but who’s counting? (Well, I guess I’m counting, especially since the weather’s been -40 recently!) Anyhow, I finally got around to uploading another room walk-through video from our resort last year. I always have intention to do something a bit more professional/polished on our […]

Behind the Scenes in the Calgary Flames A/V Room

Not to turn this blog into “all Flames all the time” (er, suck it, Chiarelli) but came across this video and found it very interesting, especially the behind-the-scenes of switching the Kiss Cam! 😉

Calgary Flame’s Unexpected Run To The Top in 2019

Back in October as the NHL season began, I did a post about many of the reasons I was excited for the Flames 2018/2019 season. Coming off a couple very disappointing years (and really, about 15 underwhelming years with only a couple exceptions – unexpected 2003/2004 Cup run, making the second round of playoffs in […]
