Coronavirus is affecting us in ways big and small but one of the worst things is not being able to see the people you love in person anymore. So me and the kids threw together a “Virtual Birthday Card’ for Grandpa Ray as a placeholder until we get to see him in person! […]

Friday Fun Link – A Message From Michael
Of all the “inspirational” celebrity messages, sing-a-longs, and tips, I do believe this is my favourite… (And bonus, possibly the first time I’ve clearly heard the lyrics to this song in ~30 years I’ve been listening to it!) 🙂
RIP John Prine (1946-2020)
Covid-19 claims another famous singer. Rest in Peace John Prine.
Music Monday – “COVID-19/I swear you are mean/At this moment/I’m in quarantine”
Lots of “C’mon Eileen” parodies out there right now for some reason… “COVID-19” (“C’mon Eileen” Parody)
Friday Fun Link – Stay Home And Avoid Coronavirus With These Fun Web Sites
Lots of ones I hadn’t heard of before on this list!
Music Monday – “All by myself/Don’t want to be, all by myself anymore/All by myself/Don’t want to live, all by myself anymore”
“All By Myself” – Eric Carmen

I’m suddenly very interested in end-of-the-world songs for some reason… “Ice Age” – Hawksley Workman
Music Monday – “That’s great it starts with an outbreak/From birds and bats to airplanes/Donald Trump is not afraid”
Great rewrite! “It’s The End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) – COVID-19 Remix” – R.E.M.
Music Monday – “Ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa/Ma ma se, ma ma sa/Ma ma coo sa”
Back from a week in Mexico and will likely do some resort-themed posts over the next few days starting with this one… And my big thought of the day is – I really have no idea why most Cancun resorts have a Michael Jackson impersonator as one of their nightly shows when you never see […]
