Secular Sunday – God Works in Mysterious Ways

This is probably too soon and I’m going to burn in hell for saying it. But if you’re religious, you probably think 45 pilgrims dying and one 8-year old girl surviving means that little girl is blessed by god and not that there is no god (or if there is, he doesn’t really interact in […]

We may see this guy in Vegas and I’m secretly thinking it might be one of those unexpected highlights of the trip based on the YouTube clips I’ve seen…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Elvis Is My Uncle? (May 2011)

My cousin in Calgary was surprised when some friends arranged for an Elvis impersonator to come to her 50th birthday celebration. This coincided with my aunt and uncle, also in Calgary, having their 50th Anniversary so it became a bit of a mini-family reunion. A picture of all aunts and uncles present made me imagine […]

Music Monday – “I’m free/It took me in my whole life/I got the keys to the cages/I’m ready for bright lights”

Wish I’d been able to see U2 at The Sphere (extra jealous talking to a coworker yesterday who said they’d been!) but YouTube videos will have to suffice… “Atomic City” – U2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2v0Wa2i4yM

Secular Sunday – Elvis Presley Wedding Chapel

Did I mention we’re going to Vegas for Easter? What’s that old line – if money is your God, then Vegas is Heaven? And I think that makes Elvis the analogy’s Jesus. 😉

Music Monday – “He said ‘Son, you ever been to Vegas?’ I said ‘No’/He said ‘That’s where we’re gonna go, You need a change of pace’/And when we hit the strip with all the wedding chapels and the neon signs/He said ‘I left my wallet in El Segundo’ and proceeded to take two grand of mine/We made tracks to the Mandalay Bay hotel/Asked the bell boy if he’d take me and my monkey as well?”

Such a good song. Loved the Robbie Williams documentary on Netflix too! “Me and My Monkey” – Robbie Williams

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Zumanity (May 2012)

A person I grew up with in Indian Head was a couple years younger than me (she was my sister’s age) but her family and ours were friends so I hung out with her too. She grew up to be a professional clown who performed in the New York, New York Cirque Show in Vegas, […]
