Music Monday – “Unlock my body and move myself to dance/Moving warm liquid, flowing blowing glass”

Went on our inaugural camping trip of the summer this past weekend at the beautiful Echo Lake Provincial Park.

Due to a mispronunciation when Pace was little, these fine treats will forever be known as “smorts” in our family! 😉  IMG_7834

Until I looked at this photo when we got home, I never noticed that the fire pit had the Saskatchewan wheat sheaf logo cut into it.  Er, how much beer did I drink?

(I asked Shea and she said she didn’t notice until we got home either and I guarantee she also drank less beer than I did!  She actually thought I took this photo on purpose because the logo was so clear with the fire going!) IMG_7841

Through the beauty of Last.fm, I know that the song I heard most over the three days we were camping was “Talking Saskatoon Blues” by Tim Hus.

But since I can’t find a single performance of that song on YouTube, I’ll instead link to the song I heard the second most during the past few days since it’s on my Rdio “Camping” playlist…

Pace Guest Post: How To Make a Miracle Safe

I couldn’t think of anything to post tonight so I asked Pace if he’d seen anything cool on YouTube lately.

This is what he suggested…

Humans and technology and creativity = awesome.

Music Monday – “Why do you build me up (build me up) buttercup baby/Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around?”

Greatest idea ever or car crash waiting to happen? 😉

This is one pretty sad looking kid…

Friday Fun Link – Calculate Your Reading Speed

MyReadSpeed.com is a site that allows you figure out your reading speed.

I tried on the sample from “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” and got 523 words per minute.

Unfortunately, the site has no way to account for having two kids pestering you while you take the test! 😉
