Hey, three stops today! Not a bad one at all, weather wise, pretty reasonable, -9. Isabelle is making cutout musicians. We had to buy a new microwave. I’m not a joiner.

Not bad today, -3. Store was ok. Isabelle bought wood. I bought groceries. Isabelle’s whirlwind art career continues, there will be more trips and events soon. It’s the break week for me! Though not really a holiday.

Back to Saturday. Cold one today, -10. It was -27 yesterday, that’s colder. Isabelle is off to North Bay for the Ice Follies art festival next week. I’ll be here. I’ve been marking. Short one today, we had to let the car warm up. It takes forever to find vitamins in the store.

We had an eventful week. Also, shopped on Saturday again. Not a bad day, it’s been getting to the point where maybe the winter is not endless. Isabelle went to North Bay. I went to visit Jon at College. It’s my Mom’s birthday! We lost a friend this week.

No it’s not D Day, listen to the podcast and it will make sense. Another record Friday night but release Saturday. Steve and my Rockford Files podcast is on the air! Isabelle is working hard on her sculpture / installation thing. I’m, I think, getting settled in at work. I’m looking forward to my Florida conference trip.

Another record Friday, post Saturday one. Isabelle’s work on the bacterium in our back yard continues. Let’s hope Lake Nippissing is frozen when she gets there. Rockford podcast starts next week!. The term is well and truly underway. Shoutouts to listeners we don’t normally shout things too. It was pretty nice out last night, clear and everything.

Recorded on Friday, released on Saturday. Night shopping! Pretty cold Friday, but super cold (-20) today. Isabelle is building an installation that she’ll show in North Bay. Friday night shopping is quick, but the store is weird. Senior’s discounts are a thing. We’re probably actually old. It was my first week back and Jon’s, things went well. I taught Jon how to use APA referencing.

Happy New Year! Isabelle has a new exhibition starting soon. (Soon being today). I have three classes this winter term, one of which I’m doing from home, which I like, and actually prefer for this course. Jon starts back up too, should be interesting. Pretty cold today but no real wind to speak of. Short one today, not too much traffic. Oh, and if you are still wondering, we stand for Democracy, we stand with Ukraine.

Recorded on Thursday, posted on Friday. Saturday will be a hellscape at the grocery store, and Friday probably not much better, so we did it on Thursday. Ross and Maddie visited and it was lots of fun. Christmas Eve had a great dinner. Isabelle continues to art. I have an online class in the winter. Happy New Year!

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.
