Broken Area - Episode 562 - Snow Day
30/11/2024 Duración: 37minSO yeah, we got 80 cm of snow Thursday night. Needless to say, Friday was a snow day. Of course I didn’t have to teach anyway. Jon and I took 2.5 hr to shovel the driveway. I went from BBQing stuff and hanging laundry outside to, well, this. I think our street got more snow than anyone, somehow.

Broken Area - Episode 561 - Poetic Feel
16/11/2024 Duración: 35minNice day today. Indeed, I’d take my bike out if it weren’t such a pain. We watched the Snake River Canyon jump, err, Mike Tyson fighting Logan Paul. It was fun, also Isabelle watched sports. It was brutal. The two middle fights were actually pretty good. Isabelle has lots of art projects on the go.

Broken Area - Episode 560 - Rearchived
09/11/2024 Duración: 36minHey we’re back! We haven’t been doing things as the Internet Archive was down and that’s where we put the audio. Could one today, though it did warm up. Lots of useless trucks in the parking lot today. I didn’t get one of my favourite cashiers. Work is repetitive currently. Isabelle has projects, as usual. I got my COVID and flu shots and had side effects.

Broken Area - Episode 559 - Crazy With Fur and Sparkles
06/10/2024 Duración: 50minA day late. A day late because the recording screwed up yesterday, well part of it anyway. I don’t even know if the part about crazy fur and sparkles is in the episode actually. Isabelle had her final night of her installation. Our buses here are like Uber aft 6 on weekends, so that was interesting. We seem to keep forgetting things. The wind today is insane.

Broken Area - Episode 558 - Haven't Done the Whole Thing
28/09/2024 Duración: 30minOK, like when will summer end? It’s going up to like 28 today. Jon came along, and got the movie you see in the past. Isabelle has a big day, she is presenting an installation today and next week for Ontario Culture Days. It’s a long process, going from the early conceptual days to today. Isabelle takes you through it. I will come down tonight on my bike to help her out. Oh also, I picked up a few season s of the Twilight Zone.

Broken Area - Episode 557 - Plant Collaboration
21/09/2024 Duración: 38minHey, Jon came today! (He didn’t talk much, but he was there). I’m used to my schedule sort of. I got my favourite cashier. Grey and 18 today. Oh we went to the library too. There are murals all over town, here’s one with this post!
-
Broken Area - Episode 556 - Do You Speak Wasabi?
14/09/2024 Duración: 36minNice day today, though I think it is going to get hot. I finished my first full week. Getting used to the timetable is the hardest thing. Oh and lecturing for 4.5 hours on Wednesday does not help. We talked to Maddie! They don’t speak Wasabi in Germany. Isabelle is hoping for some news soon.
-
Broken Area - Episode 555 - Batteries and Extension Cords
07/09/2024 Duración: 34minOooh it’s cool today. Needed gas, sometimes even a hybrid needs gas. Hey, I’ve buried the lede, we got a new washer and dryer! We’ve gone through a lot of them. Jon is very helpful. Isabelle is planning her big exhibit coming up.
-
Broken Area - Episode 554 - The Demotion Zone
07/09/2024 Duración: 28minNice day today. It is week 2 of our national nightmare, where we don’t have a washing machine. An RV pulling a car was stuck on the road, as you can see in the picture. Oh my god, it’s the last weekend of the summer! OK, not technically, but you know what I mean. Washing clothes by hand has given me Popeye arms.

Broken Area - Episode 553 - Face Spider Heretic
24/08/2024 Duración: 32minLot’s of technical difficulties in the past two weeks, but we’re back. Where are we back from? We are back from Kingston where we visited Ken and Jackie! It was great. We saw some cool old rare books. We went on a tour of the old Kingston Pen. Generally we hung out with our friends and it was glorious. Thanks Ken and Jackie!

Broken Area - Episode 552 - This isn't CNN
10/08/2024 Duración: 43minJames Earl Jones had nothing to do with this one. We lamented the news, and the lack of it. We used to read the paper every morning, and while it is now replaced with websites, it’s not the same. Rainy day. About 14C out, no biking weather. Canada won the 4x100m men’s relay, so that’s great.
-
Broken Area - Episode 551 - Fair to Middling
03/08/2024 Duración: 40minVery warm today, there won’t be a bike ride. Indeed, I even mowed the lawn early today. I say ‘fair to middling’ a lot. We went to Timmins! Timmins is interesting enough. People were very friendly. Our hybrid car continues to amaze.
-
Broken Area - Episode 550 - Isabelle's Ink
27/07/2024 Duración: 44minVery warm today, so no bike ride I don’t think. I will mow the lawn though, yay… Isabelle is doing some art today with our friend Ray. She makes ink out of stuff and things. LCBO today.
-
Broken Area - Episode 549 - Elaborate Heads
20/07/2024 Duración: 28minToday was a parade Isabelle wanted to see, so, she saw it. I shopped. When I was done she FaceTimed with me (as you can see here). I’ve pretty much figured out how to keep the. grocery bill pretty steady, but it involves knowing how to cook. Isabelle’s birthday was yesterday. She did some pretty cool stuff for her birthday. I remember the Shriner’s parades as a kid with the guys on the little motorcycles and 15 guys in a VW Beetle and all of that.

Broken Area - Episode 548 - Camp David Accords
13/07/2024 Duración: 32minThis episode has nothing to do with the Middle East. It has to do with us going shopping! Oh and we went to a pretty great concert the other day. We’re still learning about the car. I don’t want to mow the lawn. I will mow the lawn, I just don’t want to….
-
Broken Area - Episode 547 - Cover Up
06/07/2024 Duración: 26minI think one of us said this during today’s episode, so that’s the title. Why is this the picture? Because I typed ‘cover’ into google image search and it came up. We had a good conversation about French music that I didn’t record… This might not be the new theme. The LCBO is on strike, so no LCBO trip (Jon wanted something) but I got him beer at the store. Ninety percent of what we know about our new car we learned in the last week. This 90% thing has been true each week.

Broken Area - Episode 546 - Hybrid
29/06/2024 Duración: 32minWeird day, grey, rainy but not, cool but hot. Hey that’s almost a poem… Isabelle is going to be an ally today. I don’t think I would be much help. We still love the new car. You get some lovely play by play about when we use the battery and when we use the ICE. Hey it’s almost Canada Day! We’re still not clear on how everything works in the new car though.
-
Broken Area - Episode 545 - What's Up Doc?
21/06/2024 Duración: 33minBack in Sault Ste Marie for our first podcast totally in the new car. Sound better? We went to an AMAZING restaurant. The car is complicated. It makes lots of beeps. Maddie had her convocation. Maddie has a PhD
-
Broken Area - Episode 543 - A Brand New Car!
12/06/2024 Duración: 20minWe went and got a new car. It’s pretty exciting. We said goodbye to the old one. Stephanie came with us on the way there which was great. More on this story as it develops.

Broken Area - Episode 543 - Everyone Sneezes Differently
01/06/2024 Duración: 34minVery nice day today, it was 19when we left the house. I hope it isn’t super windy, it has been really windy lately. Isabelle has another art trip coming up. We get our new car soon! Sneezes are as unique as fingerprints. (I may have made that last bit up).
