Broca's Area

Back 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

We 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.

Very 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).

We didn’t have one last week because Isabelle was in Quebec. She was picking up the (in pieces) dresser you see in the post. I ordered groceries last week, first time for me. Isabelle, as always, has a bunch of art stuff on the go. Rainy today. Getting a new car soon!

How do you like the new theme? Nice day today. Jon has been watching a vegan cooking show. Isabelle is off to a powwow. I’m getting used to non structured days. Probably get my bike out again this afternoon

Damn the weather has been odd. It seems though that spring might finally be here. That said, I have to mow the lawn…. Isabelle has a busy day ahead as well. I got a new computer! We’re getting a new car! The YMCA thing might end up working out.

THE TERM IS OVER. The weather isn’t very nice. I have my bike off the trainer. Isabelle is doing her normal Isabelle things, running around, applying for grants etc. Grocery store was somewhat empty today.

SNOW. Chilly and plus 2 today, also windy. There are a lot of things happening downtown, so that’s good. The store was pretty dead. I met up with a former student, her Dad just presented his fine arts thesis stuff, pretty great! The snow was gone by the time I got out of the store.

I cannot believe the amount of wind today. Other than that it is nice and clear and sunny. Our honours thesis students in psychology presented their data last night, then we all went out for dinner and it was awesome. Isabelle had a great opening this week. It was a lot of fun and the work its excellent. Isabelle has been watching a show on Netflix about prisoners. I have an exam to give this week. I get too many emails.

Nice day today, 11C, might even take my bike out. THE TERM IS OvER! Now I’m just marking like a fiend. Isabelle has an opening coming up, so she is pretty busy. Hanging an art show is not easy. Jon had a great year at the U.

Recorded on a Saturday, posted on a Sunday. I’ve been marking. I’m not a marking fan. Isabelle has a thing over the weekend. The weather is weird, now it’s colder than normal. Still, as noted, not normal.

Lousy day today, only 3 degrees and raining. The term is getting closer to ending. I’m in the tunnel, I. can see a light. I’m not going to CO3 for the first time in 10 years. Isabelle is, as always, applying for grants. I saw my students’ honours thesis project poster presentations yesterday, they were great! I hate when they are stocking the shelves while I shop.

That’s because we have been eating more fish. Gross day today, 2 and rain. Had one of my favourite cashiers again. It’s been a busy week, lots of marking. I had a good meeting I can’t talk about. No, seriously a good meeting! Isabelle didn’t get a grant, but she keeps on trucking, you know she’s getting the next one.

Friday! Weather obsession continues… it is nice today (up to +7) but boy was it cold earlier in the week. I am trying to keep up on my classes. Getting the motivation to work out can be hard

Back to Friday. Really cold today, like -10, but it is supposed to go up to like 2 or something. This is the least harsh winter ever here. I’ve been doing out taxes. Isabelle as usual has a thing this afternoon. She’s going to teach people about rotoscoping. This is the last day of the break. I had a 70s nostalgia moment with my cashier.

TUESDAY?! Yes Tuesday, we messed up last week’s recording. We know Rob Lee isn’t complaining. The other Dr. Brodbeck is here visiting. It’s always great having Maddie here. Oh yeah, Isabelle and Maddie are watching somme show called ‘I Have Nothing’ Going up to +1 today, the ‘winter’ my be ending.

Friday is our day. The weird warm weather is still here, but it is supposed to go away by Sunday. Still, it looks and feels like April, it’s umm, weird, let’s use that again. I am marking. Isabelle is arting. Wasn’t too too bd today.

Another Fridaycast, as is becoming our custom. Isabelle ahs a student intern working with her, which is pretty great. Both parties are getting something out of it, which is how such things shoudl work. I am marking. I am literally marking right now, just waiting for a file to load. We got a new tentative agreement, let’s see if it is accepted. (Probably wil be). Did I mention that I am marking? There’s like no snow. but everything is fine….

Now that’s a title. Friday again. It’s weirdly warm, but no, it’s fine… We stopped off at Isabelle’s studio, you’ll hear some of that. Something good happened at work, can’t tell you what it is yet. Term is getting more easy to deal with. The city is trying to do some good things for Francophones, which is good.

Friday shopping? Again?! Well let’s see if I get this posted before Saturday. Work has been, interesting, let’s go with that. Isabelle has, as usual, a metric tonne of art stuff going on. Today will be super busy. There is a car parked in a field. By itself. Without any tire tracks. It’s -20.
