Hard to believe Oasis’ “(What’s The Story) Morning Glory” album is 25 years old being released in the fall of 1995. Oasis was basically a one-hit wonder in North America for most people but I was fortunate to be in England in fall 1995 on a University exchange which was during the height of the […]
After last week’s post thinking back to the last time I think I traveled to the US, I thought it’d be fun to also highlight what was probably my favourite US trip ever for another “Throwback Thursday” post. I was very fortunate to have parents who loved traveling and growing up, I got to travel […]
With the Canada-US border closed for the foreseeable future, I was trying to figure out the last time I went to the States. For awhile there in the early 2010’s, I’d say we ended up going about once or twice a year, either to Williston which is just over the border or Minot, which is […]

I’ve been thinking a lot about the differences between a panicked response, a prepared response and a proactive response and […]
Coronavirus I was in a meeting tonight and in the course of about an hour, my phone buzzed to tell me that: 1) Trump was going to start heavily restricting travel from Europe to US; 2) the NBA was cancelling their season; and 3) Tom Hanks and his wife have the disease. It’s a wild, […]
We just returned from a week at the Crown Paradise Club Cancun so I wanted to write a review of our resort while the memories are still fresh. HOW WE ENDED UP CHOOSING THE CROWN PARADISE CANCUN IN THE FIRST PLACE Having bought a house in the late fall, our streak of visiting an all-inclusive […]
This was my view one week ago today. I admit that I was a bit nervous heading to the airport the next day as the Coronavirus seemed to blow up big (in news coverage if not actual cases) during out week in Mexico but our flight went ahead so, (un)fortunately, we weren’t stranded in Cancun! […]
