Broca's Area

Super nice day today, sunny and going up to 10. It’s so nice out that I hung clothes to dry outside today. It’s another Michaud Thaw… I’ve been marking. I practiced my TEDx talk. I had a weird experience at the dentist.

Hey, an M&M stop today! Isabelle got some music from an artist whose memorial she went to. Review articles are not the same as empirical articles. A good indication is if the word ‘review’ occurs in the paper or journal title, just saying. SNOW. Lazy or stupid? You decide! Chicken is so refreshing.

That title gives you the impression we went to Sudbury. Nope. It’s chilly today with a bit of snow. Isabelle has lots of art stuff on the go. She’s also reading poems to plants. The term is winding down sorta, well not really winding down, but the vibe changes in November, let’s say that. Quick LCBO stop today.

I forgot a mask today, but found one in my pocket. I saw a colleague at the grocery store. Isabelle went to a bad art thing, I would excel at that. I got money from Oxford University Press, which I had no idea I was owed. Almost done Mad Men with Steve! Oh I went to the bank, yay! I WANT TO GO TO THE BANK.

Isabelle went to Quebec City last week. Happily her cruise control worked. Jon and I had a week by ourselves, we didn’t eat many vegetables. It was Jon’s break week. Isabelle will visit a friend today. Nice day today, though it started out foggy.

I promise I won’t. I was on a podcast recently. Podcasts are delivered via RSS, just saying. Isabelle has a trip coming up this week. Jon has his break week. Isabelle is starting a new podcast, exciting!

We went a little early this week because Isabelle has an open house at her studio. Also, no LCBO or M and M this week, so it’s shorter (which you are probably saying ‘thank you’ for). I went to London. You can see one of the pictures I was looking at while there, it’s me and my brother. I saw lots of people and it was fun. Isabelle had an eventful time as wel. Yesterday she went to Sudbury for a conference type deal. Oh, and if you think we’ve forgotten, we haven’t, we stand for democracy, we stand with Ukraine.

It’s Thanksgiving weekend. So, the store was a nightmare. Only the one stop today. Isabelle has some big stuff coming up. It’s the break week! So I’m off to London next week. Isabelle has been driving Jon to school. Jon doesn’t trust my ability to make a pie.

Hey a day early! We have a lot of stuff to do tomorrow, well mostly Isabelle does. We will be saying goodbye to an old friend. Isabelle did a reading at a ceremony for Truth and Reconciliation Day. Oh only one stop today. My (and Steve’s) Mad Men podcast will end soon. Isabelle is binging the Big Band Theory.

I think this is the earliest in the podcast that we ever came up with the title. The term is in full swing. Steve is in a hurricane. I will be on a podcast today. No M&Ms today, but LCBO. My bike is repaired. Isabelle got an old painting from Tom O’Flanagan and I got a Japanese pot! Oh yeah, if it needs to be said, we stand for democracy, we stand with Ukraine.

We’re selling our trailer today, hence the title. Isabelle has been busy with an exhibition. I’ve been busy with work. I’ve not been busy with cycling because I’ve basically worn out all of the moving parts. (Bike is in the shop, hoping for a tandem ride this afternoon). No LCBO, no gas this week. I’m happy the trailer is going to a good home, but it still is bittersweet.

Early one as Isabelle has a thing. That thing is a pow wow. It is at Sault College, where Jon now goes to school. Wait, did I say Jon? Yes I did, Jon came today as well. He had to pick up some stuff for a class. The weather is grey and boring. Jon’s first week went well. My first week had a couple of hiccups, but went ok. Biggest hiccup was the weird stain in my office.

It’s the last weekend of the summer, or the first weekend of the fall, sort of. Lost a bit of the recording today, so we may refer to something and it isn’t there… Nice day today, but it has been insanely windy. I start teaching next week. Isabelle starts next week too. Jon starts college next week, wild. Oh, I won an award!

Not too bad today, pleasant enough out. The sun sure is warm though. We talked about inadvertent stealing. Oh and Isabelle saw her friend who is running for city council. LCBO today for the first time in a bit. I don’t care if my pop culture references aren’t current. I do care if I do my job well. The sign, while not offensive, might be… Oh and of course, we stand for Democracy, we stand with Ukraine.

Super early one today, as Isabelle has a thing. Upside of going early, nobody is at the store. Downside, there’s one cashier. We went to MMPR, thanks for the ‘opening music’ @Shanebee. That’s a lot of travelling in a car, just saying. Only one stop at the grocery store today. External validation is a thing. I didn’t forget the toilet paper.

Hey, we went to #MMPR! We had a great time. Isabelle went and saw some art. We spent an hour in a Wendy’s. We have stuff from the garden. More stuff. Hamiltonn is weird to drive in. Hamilton is pretty weird for GPS too.

Cloudy as well. Programming note, off to MMPR next week, so no idea when 448 will come out. But really, what did you pay for this anyway? Isabelle is growing peas, and she explained her pea related twitter handle. We’re still COVID free, fourth shot Monday! Kids put their shoes on the wrong feet and just tough their way through it, which is sort of admirable in a way, but also pretty dumb…

Nice day today. Isabelle is constantly art working. I’m doing a lot too. Also Isabelle has a class she’s taking. What do you imagine our ‘regular characters’ look like? Has that impression changed once we described people? Didn’t have to go to M and M’s, went anyway. I now know what a woodland artist is, and you can see that in the accompanying picture. The weather has been generally really weird. Oh and it should go without saying, we stand for democracy, we stand with Ukraine.

Saturday but later. So it’s late, what did you pay for the podcast? We went to Hearst! We saw a friend. We spoke French. Damn it’s hot.

It’s a really nice day. Then I got to the store and realized I’d forgotten our bags. Isabelle returned with them. Then Isabelle tried to imagine Tom Merritt’s house. Bag. They moved the vermouth. Hopefully get on my bike today. Oh I put new brakes on my bike, and there is a picture any everything.
