What a trip!

Mexico City - Man, what a trip!!

Sometimes hard work actually pays off. The proof, of course, being the pictures and the video seen here now.



We participated in a group exhibition at Anahuac Universtiy, and at the Diego Rivera Museum, and it was an unbelievable experience that we'll never forget, and we feel so grateful to have been part of it all.

President of A U - "So nice to meet you, anything you need, just let me know."
Us: - "How did we get here? This is so insane..."

Hindsight will have us forget the heat rashes, and bathroom dashes, and with the rose color tint of time, it'll become a legendary adventure.



None of this would have happened without the love and support of our families, and our friends, both old and new.

Thanks to: B - I love you! We may have gotten sick, but never of each other. Ixchel - for the opportunity, and for bringing us along for one hell of a journey. Sergio - for keeping us safe, and showing us a great time. Thoma - for being a calming influence. Stella - for being nice and caring. Gord and Linda - for keeping the babies happy and healthy. Brian and Nancy - for keeping the babies spirits up. Kathy - for keeping the babies cleaned, and giving them love. Georgette, Claudia, Lourdes, Miguel, you showed us the heart of the Mexican people with your kindness and friendship.

Ladybird Animal Sanctuary

A couple weeks ago, we had in our living room, three big hearted individuals, Melissa McClelland , Janine Stoll and Lisa Winn , from Ladybird Animal Sanctuary . The following is the transcription of the interview. You can find the video version up above. How did it all start? “I’m an animal lover, and a full-time touring musician," said McClellan. "And I think I just wanted part of my life to focus on my love for animals, because so much of my life is wrapped up being on the road. So I brought it up with these girls, and we all thought it was a great idea, so we’ve been talking about it for a few years now.” “I had already been doing it small scale," said Winn, "because I’ve worked at animal shelters, and had already been rescuing and fostering for a number of years.” “I felt like the three of us come from different backgrounds, and we work so nicely together," said McClelland. "Our personalities, we just click as friend. And Lisa has the background w

Best Metal'ish albums of 2022

We use the term Metal’ish because some of our favorite albums could be considered metal adjacent, not metal necessarily, but awesome none-the-less and worthy of this list. We are always on the hunt for the next awesome metal album and this year there was no shortage of great stuff, in fact, this list could have been a lot longer. Finding all these albums on our own would be near impossible. What we do is wait until all the YouTube metal nerds put out their metal lists and we watch them - 20 or so videos so far -  and any albums we haven’t heard yet, we check them out. Basically we let them find all the good albums that we missed and then check them out and see what we think. The criteria for this list is easy: is it a kick ass album? Yes or no? If no, then it’s probably power metal. If yes, we listen to it until we get sick of it. Anyways, here is the list of top metal’ish albums of 2022. We are reversing a trend and instead of making you wait to see what is #1, we will just start ther

I must have picked the right font, because it looks like Gop 10 ! Ok, it's no surprise that I'm procrastinating writing my newest project, though I did write a short story for the Toronto Star Short Story contest, which means I still haven't given up my dream of becoming a successful author. Lucky for me, being a successful author means: completing a project I start. Also, it should't come as a surprise that I'm single, so I've compiled a Top 10 list of the reasons for this. Top 10 Reasons I’m Not Surprised I Don’t Have a Girlfriend. #10 - I trim my toenails with my teeth. #9 - When I pulled my laundry out of the dryer, I didn’t find any underwear, that’s when I realized I was still wearing the pair I washed last week. #8 - I’m broke and broken. #7 - I run like a girl and sit down to pee. #6 - I cut my own hair. #5 - I cry when I watch ‘The Notebook’. #4 - I’ll eat anything that’s free. #3 - I’ll drink anything that’s free. #2 - The minute I realize I’
