Friday Fun Link – Library on the Beach?

Many of the resorts we’ve visited have had a “leave one, take one” area for books but this is the first one I’ve seen that’s actually a “Little Library” on the beach (which is a great idea I wish more places would implement!)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #4 – Travel

Not sure if I’ll end up blogging much when we’re in Mexico next week but I thought making “travel” #4 in this series would be a good way to head into our holiday either way. The funny part is that my love of travel actually starts from a weird piece of family trivia – I […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #3 – Books

If I’m doing a list of the 10 things that had the strongest influence in who I’ve become at the midpoint of my life, it’s telling that the thing I jump to as the third most influential thing in my entire life, after family and after friends, is books. In fact, I could probably do […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? #2 – My Friends

Friday Fun Link – Aeromexico Trolls Racist Americans

No idea if I’d meet their qualification for this deal but would be a great way to get a discount on a flight to Mexico if I did! 😉

List of Flags By Colour Combination (and the Story of One Man Who’s Edited 1/3 of Wikipedia Articles)

This is a pretty interesting Wikipedia article. Also, the news has picked up on the story of one guy who’s apparently edited 1/3 of Wikipedia’s millions of articles and created 35,000 original articles.

Is Ringo Starr The Best Drummer of All-Time?

Really enjoyed the Hawksley Workman drum workshop last night where, after a concert on Sunday that I didn’t make it to, he did a Monday night workshop where he showed a bit of his process in using the drums, was interviewed by a local drummer, and took audience questions. (Hard to believe I’ve been a […]

Five Topics of The Holidays

I realised that our social calendars this holiday season were as full as they’ve been in years due to a little miracle called “Pace Gets His Home Alone & Babysitting Certification”. So compared to other years where we had the hassle and expense of lining up babysitters if we wanted to go out, this year, […]
