Happy 40th Birthday, Shea!

It’s hard to believe that you and I have been together for more than half of your life. Thanks for all the great times, good memories and two gorgeous kids. I can’t wait to continue the birthday celebrations one week from today in Mexico! Love you!!!

Congrats Michelle and Adam! (aka Mexican Wedded Bliss Is Better Than Mexican Prison Stress!)

You know you’ve exhausted every possible video on YouTube about your upcoming all-inclusive resort when you start delving into the whole sub-genre of wedding videos – glossy, professionally shot montages of all the expected scenes – the wedding party getting ready while drinking mimosas, the close-up of the rings, the awkward speeches.

Happy Anniversary, Shea!

I look forward to raising a toast with you in Mexico in a couple weeks (preferably champagne, not tequila!)

Music Monday – “And there’ll be sun, sun, sun all over our bodies/And sun, sun, sun all down our necks/And there’ll be sun, sun, sun all over our faces/And sun, sun, sun, so what the heck”

Hey look! I went through an added an “allinclusive” tag to all my posts about various aspects of our all-inclusive holidays over the years to make them easier to find instead of just using the “holiday” tag which is a bit broader. I’m clearly getting excited with three weeks to go (and songs like the one […]

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! 😉

Music Monday – “Stick it up, mister, hear what I say, sir, yeah/Get your hands in the air, sir/And you will get no hurt, you say”

Countdown is on to our Mexico vacation – less than a month now! Plus the temperature is -35 and falling as I type this so our holiday can’t come fast enough. Maybe this song can warm me up? “54-46 – That’s My Number” – Toots and the Maytals

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Walk Through of Our Room at Moon Palace, Cancun (February 2018)

So in exactly one month, we’ll be on our way to Cancun…but who’s counting? (Well, I guess I’m counting, especially since the weather’s been -40 recently!) Anyhow, I finally got around to uploading another room walk-through video from our resort last year. I always have intention to do something a bit more professional/polished on our […]

“It Smells Like Piss Water and the Starch From Noodles Boiling”

So after a month or so of pretty heavy holiday season indulgence with a variety of delicious craft beers, I’ve switched to this delightful “dad beer” for the foreseeable future. Yum?
