Well, off to shopping.  So we went on a Friday, which changed the rhythm of the whole thing.

Where we stopped by the falls

Where we stopped by the falls

Isabelle has been painting cows, and looking for cows to paint and drawing cows and going to cow places.

Isabelle went to a small town fair this weekend, and also went to a workshop on 8mm film making.  Then she and Maddie did some art thing in the backyard.  I stayed inside as it was a thousand degrees.  

There was some really good stuff, some of it about the election campaign, that we recorded but Bossjock lost, so, if you want politics, go to What's Left.....

On Sunday we went and got an ice cream and then went for a bit of a hike at a local conservation area.  We talked about invasive species and about how I am an oppressor...

Isabelle has been working out a lot lately, and it is making her feel a lot more, well, healthy.  This led us into a discussion of working out and competition in general.  Isabelle is not much on that.  Then again, I played Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag for four hours yesterday to get 30 gamer points, which are, a completely useless thing.

This will be the last time I yell 'QRM!' on the show, promise.

Enjoy.

Episode 72 - Recording Through My Shorts

Lake Superior and all of the Inferior Lakes

Lake Superior and all of the Inferior Lakes

We had a bit of time on Friday afternoon so we went for a little drive and talked about Icelandic names.  They list their phonebook by first names there.  They are insane.  We then went to a pawn shop.  I've never been to a pawn shop, so, well, that was fun.

Then it was Saturday and off to groceries, but, no gin and pernod!  Yeah, we went shopping early as Isabelle is off on an artspedition this afternoon.  She's going up north of where we typically camp in Lake Superior Provincial Park.  

Oh hey, Isabelle has an Etsy shop, you should buy stuff from there.  (The words 'Etsy shop' are linked there, oh and there too).

What is a lake?  What makes a lake a lake?  I figure it is arbitrary.



Episode 71 - Mandela Mandala

Mandela Mandala Tomato, Tomato.....

Mandela Mandala Tomato, Tomato.....

So today we combined the standard grocery shopping podcast with the bonus of us getting ready for a social learning opportunity for kids with autism.  These 'SLOs' allow kids with autism to get out, do an activity and meet other people.  Isabelle set this one up, mentioned it on Facebook and the next thing you know a local reporter, Katie Huckson showed up.  Follow her on twitter.

Now I didn't know what a Mandala was.  I knew what a Mandela was though, and this led to hilarity.

Then, off to the groceries.  

We brought Jon along this time which was fun.  You know what?  We've been podcasting for then years, cool eh?
