Episode 23 - The Charter of Isabelle and Dave Values

Well we thought we would step in to the whole Quebec charter of values thing.  Isabelle had a discussion today on facebook with some old friends about the charter.  If you don't know, the charter, which is being proposed by the separatist government of Quebec, wants to make wearing religious garb of any sort by public employees illegal.  Indeed, you must understand that that includes physicians, professors and anyone else paid by the province.   

Well, as most know, we are both atheists, so we have little time for religion really, but, you know, governments have no business telling people how to dress.  It strikes me as a violation of human rights.  Indeed, it seems to strike the leaders of the three major federal political parties that way too. 

Well, listen in, and let us know your thoughts. 

Episode 22 - The Very Hungry Caterpillar

So, we went for a walk, we saw some stuff, by a waterfall, which was pretty cool, though I hope the sound is ok...   Isabelle did a wonderful job as well of translating 'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother' and singing it along with her uke.

We spoke a bit about meth, and how it is a bad idea in general. 

We found a caterpillar on the path we were walking on at the park, and Isabelle either saved it, or not, I maintain she brought it closer to its destruction...... 

This thing was the size of my face!

We then came back a couple of days later and talked about a movie, Criaglist Joe, that Isabelle just saw.  We talked a bit about Isabelle's inability to identify Jewish people, and how much I think Mennonites are screwing their children's future.

School starts up soon, so we figure we will be producing more episodes as time goes by. Thanks again for listening especially to our commenters. 

Episode 21 - Backyardcast

So, we have not recorded in ages, indeed, we missed our eight anniversary of podcasting.  Anyway, we talked quite a bit about Isabelle's art class which she attended in July.  She went to this three day art workshop in Spring Bay, ON.  Spring Bay is on Manitoulin Island, the largest fresh water island on earth.  The neat thing is that we camped nearby at a place where I used to camp as a kid.  You might have heard both Jon and I talk about it on our respective solo mini casts. 

Backyardcast, with photobomb by the boy....

Jon, of course, showed up for a bit, but actually he was pretty good about not interrupting much, happily.  That said he did photo bomb our album art.... 

Enjoy.
