Episode 98 - My Dad Was Not a Beatnik

We began today's discussion talking about hippies, beatniks and how my Dad was no beatnik.  Dad was funny, and indeed I tell the story about him running a long term practical joke on his old business partner.

Isabelle went to an art exhibit last night at the Art Gallery of Algoma featuring a recent grad of her program at the University.  The AGA is starting to show stuff from locals, including recent BFA grads from Algoma University.  This is a good thing.

Dad would never have ordered one

I ran into a guy from work.  He talked about the University.  I just said 'I'm deleting emails'  I love my sabbatical.

I tend to talk and talk and talk.  Indeed, I just want to be the most interesting person you have ever met.

Sometimes my vision gets in the way of me being social.  Of course other times, I'm actually anti social....

Thanks for the comments and thanks for listening.

Episode 97 - The Salon is not the Family Room

Hello to all of our listeners, including anyone who is new.

Well I'm glad we cleared this controversy up

I've reformatted my phone, so we are back to using Bossjock, I hope to hell it works.  (Turns out is has...)

What is the difference between a family room and a living room?  This is a huge debate which divides the country apparently along linguistic, cultural and religious lines.

It's snowing in the States, I hope you all survive.

Isabelle is looking for a new show to watch, does anyone have any suggestions?

We ended talking about students and teaching and cheating, so not that different than usual.

Oh we got gas too.....

Episode 96 - Pepper Covered Cat Fur Balls

David Bowie in the Puffy Shirt

We started out this week by talking about the death of David Bowie.  Bowie was a big deal musically and really influential.  I was never a huge fan, though I liked his stuff.  Isabelle felt roughly the same way.  As noted, we both like his music a lot (it was just never a huge deal to us.) Neither of us were affected by the death of Lemmy from Moorhead.

We then went from there and talked about the TV show Mr. Robot which we just finished.  Watch it.  Seriously.

Out last segment ended with us talking about why people go to the US to shop when the dollar is so low, and, about Isabelle's upcoming afternoon.
