Episode 103 - Ce N'est Pas Fair

We're off on another Saturday adventure!  Look, I write part of these posts before we even go shopping, I don't know what we're going to talk about.  This is why each post starts out with this generic bit.  OK, fourth wall back up....

So off we went, a bit of a detour this week as we had empties to return.  I broke a bottle in the beer store.

Isabelle's art needs a home, and her program's current home is sort of in flux.  I have mastered the art of saying things that would get others in trouble, but people just say 'oh, that's Dave'.

On the way home we spoke mostly in French.  This was prompted by what was on the radio.  We talked a bit about the importance of learning another language and how it makes you just a better person in general.  People seem reluctant to take the opportunity though.

Episode 102 - Dad Men

Another decent day today, though apparently it is going to get nasty later.

Isabelle wants to burn a DVD, which led us into a discussion of why anyone in this day and age would use a DVD for anything.

Jon has been super sick and I haven't really gotten out of the house since Wednesday.  I feel like Betty Draper.  I'll probably take care of that with a bit of Valium.....  I kid, I kid.

While I have been watching Mad Men again Isabelle has been watching 'Highway Thru Hell'.  She likes these shows.   I'm not much on them, but to each their own.

We got to talking about mostly Isabelle's Dad this time around, and how he was a designer into things one would have seen on Mad Men. 

Finally, I wonder if it is true that houses have fewer hallways now because of the efficiency of heating and insulation.

Episode 101 - Experiential Papier-mâché Muses

Not these ones, they're too expensive 

So, it was -26 last week, today it is plus 2.  The snow is melting, for now.

Hello to all of our friends at podcamp Toronto.  We're podcasting, so you don't have to.

Today we got to talking about 'experiential' learning.  This is a new education buzzword (which always makes me skeptical) that deals with people learning by doing.  You know, labs, studio work, placements, internships, that sort of thing.

Then it was off to the mall!  Yup, we changed it up this week, for your listening enjoyment.

Isabelle was a big Pac Man fan in her day, I was more into Defender and Galaga.  

I apparently once got mad at Isabelle for buying expensive red peppers rather than the cheaper green ones.
