Music Monday – “I like girls that Wear Abercrombie and Fitch/I’d take her if I had one wish/But she’s been gone/Since that summer”

Not sure what the statute of limitations is on me posting songs from my “Tropical Vacation Tunes” playlist after our holiday is over.  But I’m going to keep doing it for the time being (and since there’s more than 52 songs on that playlist, who knows – maybe I’ll post one a week until our […]

Music Monday – “Dancin’ in the moonlight/Everybody’s feelin’ warm and bright/It’s such a fine and natural sight/Everybody’s dancin’ in the moonlight”

Another favourite from my “Tropical Tunes” playlist that provided a soundtrack for our recent Mexican holiday. “Dancing in the Moonlight” – Toploader

Saturday Snap – My Daughter’s First Mustang #ThePalaceLife

Sasha loved that she could drive this kid-sized electric car at The Grand at Moon Palace (we couldn’t get her out of it on our first day pass to The Grand but the car wasn’t working the second unfortunately.)

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

Music Monday – “Allow us to take you to the palm trees/Put your mind at ease Lay out in the sun Yuh feel the cool ocean breeze/Take a trip from Canada/I want all of us to go” @tasmanjude #ThePalaceLife

Twenty-four hours until we’re heading for the airport! Not sure how I first came across this groovy western Canadian reggae song (I think it was used for someone else’s travel montage video on YouTube?) but it’s become a staple of my “Tropical Holiday” playlist. The lyric version of this song is easier to understand… …but the live […]

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. […]

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 […]

Music Monday – “In the courtroom of honor, the judge pounded his gavel/To show that all’s equal and that the courts are on the level/And that the strings in the books ain’t pulled and persuaded/And that even the nobles get properly handled/Once that the cops have chased after and caught ’em/And that the ladder of law has no top and no bottom”

This is a song about a farmer who was convicted of manslaughter after accidentally killing someone. “The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll” – Bob Dylan
