Going to combine the last two colours of the rainbow in today’s post because: a) can anyone tell me the difference between indigo and violet? and b) if you can, do you think I can find two drinks that fit those two shades of purple? Her: Caribbean Princess (not on cocktail menu but I think […]
Gotta admit – was looking forward to this day/colour for some reason…maybe blue just feels both unnatural as a food/drink colour but also very fitting for the tropics? Anyhow… Her: Blue Hawaiian Him: Blue Lagoon Bonus: Real Mayan Ruins (grey) in the background that you can climb up to and see up close.
Her: Mojito Him: Caipirinha (which I believe would be as popular as the mojito if it had a more easily pronounceable name! Also, mine should be greener as I’ve had them with a lot more limes.)
Him = Bay Breeze Her = Mai Tai (And I think it was the lighting or the cups or maybe even my shirt absorbing all the orange in the room. But you’ll have to trust me that these drinks were more orange than yellow – honest!)
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 […]

Hopefully this is my view in about a week from now…

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 […]
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 […]
