Broca's Area

Maddie and Ross are here! So Maddie took me grocery shopping on Thursday and we recorded. Then that night we all played a fun game. We also downed a couple of bottles of wine, so Isabelle and I went out to buy more wine, As it was the two of us, hell, why not record more? THE SIGN IS GONE! Box. Isabelle’s mom is doing much better. Merry Christmas People choose their car colour based on political feelings, apparently.

Use a week before Christmas. Nice day, though not sunny. We’ll skate tomorrow, today Isabelle has puppet things to take care of!. Oh, I broke my glasses last week when I feel while skating. Isabelle fixed my glasses! I have exams to makr.

While we didn’t record on the way to skating and back, we did go skating, so that’s why it’s a bit later than usual. I did my TEDx thing, it went well. The whole event did. It’s marking and exam time. We went to the work Christmas party. Pretty cold today, but not too much wind. I have all mom my shopping done!

It’s December. The term is basically over. Also, IT’S TIME TO GET A CHRISTMAS TREE! Pretty good luck so far, tree looks good. Yeah we know that’s lots of episodes. Merry Christmas everyone!

Boy was it windy today, gusting to 90 km/h. So it wasn’t THAT cold, but with that wind… There’s a new outdoor skating rink, so we went and skated. I am doing a TEDx talk. My skates need sharpening. Oh, as we also recorded after shopping and on your way to, and back from, skating, this one is a bit longer than they have been recently.

What a bad title. Well it is Canadian National Day of Podcasting, so, that makes sense. I am not good at lights. The term is almost over. It’s very windy. Artificial Christmas trees are really expensive. Happy CNDOP.

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.
