Episode 74 - The Long Road Back

Well, we just finished dropping Madeleine and Ross off in London and helping them move in.  We travelled there though Canada with all of their worldly possessions in a U Haul trailer.

Most of this was recorded on the way home, through the US.  USA! USA!

There are a few interesting bonus bits in the podcast, be sure to listen all of the way through.  The bit at the beginning was the US border guard letting us in, the sound quality there is not that great....

Jon took some great pics and one of them is here on the post.  

We all with Maddie the best of luck, and we are very proud of her.

Episode 73 - Stop Conolozing Me

This episode contains ice cream

Oh here's that tree we were talking about

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

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

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.
