Six years ago today we were i a special level of hell

OK, so I was looking through that facebook ‘On This Day’ deal and found a picture from 2012. It turns out that 2012 had the same December we currently have, meaning December 22 was on a Saturday. Well, let’s see how that looked. You can see in the photo that it was a nightmare. OK, my hope, as I type this, is that it is not that bad, but I fear it may be worse. At least the renovations are done at the grocery store.

I’m sure the liquor store will be fine.

Actually a bit better this year.

Hey, Maddie is in town!

We are beta testing a new podcasting app, Backpack Studio, the successor to Bossjock. Well, it crashed and we lost our first segment. So, I guess I’ll file a bug report….

We’re going to make art this afternoon. Me, Isabelle, Jon, Maddie and Ross. It will be inspired by Ross’s Mom Tammy who died a little over a year ago.

The grocery store was a nightmare, and holy crap is it hot in there.

The LCBO was not as bad.

Isabelle might be having a show soon!

Christmas Eve is our own tradition. Each of us makes a dish or two. This year it’s tapas.

Merry Christmas to all of you from the Michaud-Brodbeck family.







Episode 245 - Christmas Tree Special 2018

This is the fourth time we’ve gone to get a tree. Well, I mean, it isn’t the fourth time we’ve got a tree, but the fourth time we’ve done that and recorded it.

A couple of years ago we figured out that it was pretty easy to put the tree in the bak of the car. So we’ll do that again.

We culled our old ornaments yesterday. We had some old ones…

I can’t drink egg nog while decorating the tree today, because I have to be on another podcast later today.


Episode 244 - Phone Networking

Snowy, Christmasy.

Isabelle is sort of energized by the recent events surrounding French language rights in the province. She’s meeting all kinds of new people in the Francophone community, and reconnecting with old ones.

The grocery store is a thousand degrees.

This time of year is a bit nuts, but in a good way.

Expect our annual Christmas tree getting episode soon!

It’s marking season. And grant review season. And article review for a journal season.
