Greetings From Mont-Tremblant


This is my first attempt at blogging from somewhere other than my computer room. With the help of my friend Judy and her snazzy new laptop we are blogging from the top of Mont-Tremblant. The drive up was nice and uneventful and we are just starting to unwind.
There hasn't been any skiing just yet.... That will be tomorrow.
Spring has definitely started to arrive here in the mountains, but not completely.

Its really nice and warm but it is snowing as we speak so there should be some nice new snow on the runs for Sunday morning.
We will let you know how things turn out.
There will also be some shopping done during the day.





Here are some more pictures of the village and our Chalet.

















Goodbye from Tremblant for now.
More to follow on Sunday.

Music Memories

I'm just spending a quiet afternoon in the computer room listening to music, unwinding after a
Sunday shift at work. I started to think about some the old songs that I used to love and started searching for them. I'm curious to see how they have held up over time. I'm guessing 'cause I listened to a lot of music in the 80's that some aren't going to be as good as I remember.

So lets go back and start in 1987.
The song is Boom Boom Boom by Paul Lekakis.
I don't think I ever saw a video for this song, but I do remember hearing for the first time at Astrolab.
Astrolab was a dance bar for teenagers where no alcohol was served.
It was alright, it had a great light show, and played lots of great music.
I didn't have all that much fun, it was a bit intimidating.

So here is a live performance of Boom Boom Boom.
I don't remember him being so gay.



I don't want call him a one hit wonder, but here is the 20th anniversary video of Boom Boom Boom.



Surprise, surprise Paul has a new video called "I need a vacation".
Its a little bit catchy, but the chorus is just bad.



Who the hell says they need to go on a vacay....

Anyway back to the music.

A bit out of order.

Here's Shannon with Let the music play.



Next in line is the boy band that started it all.

New Kids on Block.

I was lucky enough to see them in concert here in Ottawa twice.
The first time was with my brother who was about 14 at the time.
He still claims that I scarred him for life when I made him attend the first concert with me. A concert with 10,000 screaming girls, I don't know how that scarred him....

The second show I went with my best friends sister.
Hey I had a great time.

I found the ticket stubs the other day.



Been to a concert lately, check out the prices for these tickets.
Notice the rain or shine on the second stub.
It was during the Ex in August and it poured for about four hours before the show, everyone was soaked, but I still had a great time.

Here is "The Right Stuff" the song that started it all for the New Kids On The Block.



The begging of the end....
Step by Step.



Thats it for tonight I'll have more tomorrow.
