Mexico Rainbow Challenge – Day One – Red

We made it to Mexico! If you read my (long) Year End post, you’ll see that I (mostly) quit drinking.  I didn’t go full AA so that I could allow myself the occasional indulgence (or more if I’m at an all-inclusive for instance.) For example, after a long delay including a text from WestJet at […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Foam Party (March 2019)

It looks like fun but there were a couple times during the Foam Party at Hyatt Ziva in Cancun when I felt absolute terror – no lie.  The foam would get so thick and high near the foam cannon that it would encompass you and you literally couldn’t breathe! Hopefully I do better at the […]

Music Monday – “I just wanna feel real love/Feel the home that I live in/’Cause I got too much life/Running through my veins/Going to waste”

When Shea and I got married on the beach in Mexico in 2003, this song was in heavy rotation on one of the music channels in our hotel room. (In fact, I briefly thought she might call off the wedding to pursue Robbie Williams.  Or if she didn’t, I might as he’s just that damn […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Our (Legal) Wedding Twenty Years Ago (February 2003)

A few days ago, I posted how it was our 20th anniversary (at least of our legal wedding, not of the ceremony we had on the beach in Mexico a month later which is the anniversary we “count”.) Here’s a picture from our legal wedding (and coincidentally, my cousin who stood up with me happens […]

Music Monday – “It’s knowing that this can’t go on forever/Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone/Maybe we’ll get forty years together/But one day I’ll be gone/Or one day you’ll be gone”

I’ve told the story on this blog a few times before how Shea and I technically got married three times (with the related joke that most men can’t keep track of one anniversary and I have to remember three.  Or, flipping that, I have three chances to remember it!) To recap… Our Three Weddings * Feb […]

Music Monday – “Cause if summer is here/I’m still waiting there/Winter is here/And I’m still waiting there”

I have many fond memories of regularly going to the Ness Creek Music Festival, a hippie festival in Northern Saskatchewan, when I was in my twenties. I can’t remember their name but one moment of perfection was a band I’d never heard of but that ended up being a reggae band who brought a little […]

Music Monday – “I’m gonna hold on to every spot/It doesn’t make a difference if I use it or not/Sun is rising and folks are shocked to see/There’s no open slots”

This is a parody of cruise ship chair saving but could equally apply to the poolside chairs in most tropical resorts… “Towels on The Chairs” – ParoDeeJay

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Corona Light? (February 2020)

Our last Mexican vacation was in late Feb/early March of 2020 just as Covid was breaking worldwide.  I spent much of our week taking pictures of Corona beer cans thinking I was clever…
