Episode 83 - Self Actualized Maximalists

So we went shopping a day early as well, as we could so why not?  What's your problem?

We talked a bit about Maslow's hierarchy of needs, which Isabelle is thinking about in her painting.  It is a pretty much discredited idea nowadays in psychology.

We then talked a bit about our new government, specifically the cabinet.  They seem, oh, qualified or something.  Interestingly a large number of them did not 'swear to God' but instead affirmed that they would do their duties.  Plus, half are women, plus there are monitories and everything!

Oh part 2 is recorded on my Zoom H2, there might be a couple of audio problems, for that I apologize.

Episode 82 - Traditions

This one ends abruptly as the recording messed up a touch.

That said we had a good time talking about my sabbatical, and my podcast Spit and Twitches.  Then we got some gas!

We talked about traditions and how you know that saying 'well it is a tradition' is not an argument for or against anything.  

Then the recording ended abruptly.....

Episode 81 - Will Isabelle Michaud Please Come To Customer Service

So, I am not sure if you know this, but we had an election.  The election turned out the way that both Isabelle and I wanted.  Especially the ousting of the current PM.  We both have quite a bit of hope about the upcoming four years.  Who knows, maybe we won't be disappointed. 

Well then we went shopping and Isabelle lost her purse, which is what the title refers to.  However, happily, they found it and asked her to come get it.  This led us into a discussion of losing stuff in general.

Isabelle talked a lot about growing up with not very much stuff so she learned not to care too much about stuff.  Still, it is sad that she lost that necklace when she was young.
