Music Monday – “What’s the reason why/Da Vinci had to paint/Lennon had to write/About peace”

Remember how, in the old days, you’d try to maximize your $14.99 (or $19.99 or more!) when buying a cassette or CD? To do this, instead of blowing your cash on an album by a single artist that might only have 1-2 songs you like, you’d pick an album with a title like “Biggest Chart Toppers […]

Saturday Snap – Farewell to #PuntaCana #grandpalladium

Back from our week long holiday in the Dominican Republic and now the long sad process of unpacking and downloading all the pictures we took and catching up on neglected stuff at home begins.

Travel Planning, Coincidence and (Another) Once In A Lifetime Experience

Recently, at my library, I delivered a program called “Trip Planning 2.0: How To Research Your Vacation Online” where I gave registrants a “guided tour” of some the most useful sites for trip planning, both well-known (Google, TripAdvisor) and lesser-known (Reddit, FourSquare). (The program was basically an expanded version of a blog post I did […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Our Tropical Vacation History

Some people go every year, some people go whenever they can afford it, and some people will never go to one, thinking they’re fake, inauthentic holidays. Shea and I are in that middle category – though we don’t go every year [edit: I lied – as of January 2020, we’ve been five years in a […]

Music Monday – “Da roof/Da roof/Da roof is on fire”

When Shea and I went on our first all-inclusive vacation to Mazatlan in February 2000, this was one of the songs we heard blaring from the poolside speakers constantly and which will forever be associated with hot holidays in my mind for that reason… “Follow The Leader” – Soca Boys

An Analysis of My YouTube Channel

I’ve been uploading videos to YouTube since 2006. This was the year we got our first digital camera. It was also the year when I was doing my Masters degree so I was very interested in all kinds of online services including online broadcasting. We were also living far from home so it was […]

“Are These The Good Times, Dad?”

So after spending a few hours at the lake yesterday, my dad, Pace and I went back into town. Dad bought a few things he needed at the local co-op including some candy as a treat for Pace. As we drove away, the sun was shining. Someone had a fishing shack painted with The Punisher […]
