Broca's Area

Things are sort of normal. I’m a couple of weeks into my term. Isabelle has a show on in her gallery. Jon came to a social thing at the U for psych students. It’s all just fine. Everything is fine. I also got some weed trimmer line at Canadian Tire!

I suppose that’s better than rambling fallings. Went to the library today. Jon came as well. The term hs started. Isabelle is figuring out art things. In other words, it’s another week :-)

We’re back! Jon’s is out hiking with a friend. Jon now has a personal trainer! We had friends over for dinner, it was nice. Last long weekend of the year, but it was not that busy at the store oddly enough. The next time you hear us I will have taught a class….

Back at it. Jon came today, I always appreciate the company. Thunderstorm warning in effect! We went to a concert, it was fun. Jon didn’t go… Isabelle has a new logo for her Galerie. Oh and the logo was designed by a local person, so that’s super.

Boiling indeed, there’s a heat warning today. Oh thanks for the nice words about our podcasting anniversary! Follow Isabelle’s gallery on instagram. Did I mention how hot it is? My vacation is over, but I feel good! Isabelle is going to make more paper. I won’t be… I got new tires and tubes for my bike. I know you don’t care, but I do

We started Broca’s Area twenty years ago today with our first episode. So, the first half off this one is our standard grocery bit. The second part is at home, talking about our 20 years doing this. Oh and Jon was around too! We went to Montreal. We came back. It was long. It was good. See you in another 20 years…

We’re back. Even an LCBO trip today! I found out what artist trading cards are. Does anyone have an Isabelle rookie card? Pretty warm today. Hey I’m on holidays!

The title? It is a list of things I hate. I hate these things because today is the weekend before Canada Day and the grocery store was a mad house. We visited London. We saw Maddie! I had my 60th birthday, so I am now elderly. Jon did not change the list this week..

A day late. You can decide if it is a dollar short. Isabelle was in Sudbury. Jon came with us. Very nice day today if windy. Also sort of short today.

Let the circle, be unbroken. Nice day, but very windy, likely no cycling today. They moved everything in the store and it is very annoying. Jon stayed home to watch the F1 qualifying. Went to a cool thing at the museum. Garage sales are a scourge on humanity.

I forgot to charge the phone I use to record last week. Wind. The constant is wind. Isabelle is off to an art swap today. I had to do it solo for like 2 minutes, it wasn’t good…. No Jon this week. Isabelle has been working in the garden. I’ve been trying to cycle in this wind….

The title has literally nothing to do with the episode. Well maybe a very little. Mother’s Day tomorrow. Jon came, which is always nice. Seems like a decent day, mid teens temperature wise. Isabelle is going on a walk for Mother’s Day. I’m cooking stuff for Mother’s Day. Isabelle might be going to the Robertson Cliffs.

Jon came this week! THE TERM IS OVER. THE SHOW IS OVER AT ISABELLE’S GALLERY! So we’re both in good spirits. I’m getting my bike out today! Oddly, no election talk. We saw a plane! Oh, one pic is the plane, the other is plastic making.

This one is not about animal behaviour. I mean really, are any of our episodes ever about anything? THE TERM IS OVER. The show at Isabelle’s gallery is winding down. The snow is gone. Might get my bike out soon!

This week’s title works on two levels. The stuff Isa is doing for an art project (which.sounds super cool) and the fact that the melting snow has a sculpture like effect, it’s kind of cool. Speaking of cool, it’s cool, but above freezing, so lots of melting. I’m still mad about the USA. I gave an exam on Monday. I have another on Friday. We voted.

Yup it’s been a while. I was away at a conference two weeks ago, and last week I lost my voice. Of course many of you are saying ‘Oh Dave lost his voice, on hon, anyway…’ The term is winding down. Jon came again, he’s always super helpful. Isabelle’s student presented their work. This city is full of micro climates.

Shopping! Isabelle has been busy, of course. Tim Horton’s, it’s Canadian, sorta. It’s Jon’s birthday! Happy 24th Jonno! I did self checkout today, not a fan. Why is it winter again?

It’s been a while. Isabelle was away, she’s back. Hey, Jonno came along! Isa has a workshop tonight on grant writing. It’s warming up, spring soon? Now whey, whey.

Yes yes, we didn’t do last week. Lots of stuff has happened. We were to drive to Quebec last week, but the weather didn’t cooperate. Isabelle will head over there next week. The break is over, so I’ll be back teaching. There are Canadian flags everywhere! I’m not going to talk about him.

We skipped last week for a good reason The awesome Noëlla Guimond, Isabelle’s Maman, died last week. She had a huge impact on our lives of course, but, she affected many others. Her work was always about lifting other people up. Remember that. Oh yeah, and the USA sucks. You can take your trade war and shove it. I’ll see Maddie in a couple of months. Hey, maybe Isabelle will go to Germany! Oh yeah, it snows a lot again.
