Episode 122 - A Beautiful Day

So, we went shopping a day early as Isabelle's birthday is tomorrow, and, well, she hates shopping.  So it seemed to make sense to not have her do something she dislikes on her birthday.  Today is also the 12th anniversary of our arrival back here in Sault Ste. Marie from Corner Brook.

Isabelle has been visiting our friend Pat a lot.  You've probably heard her talk about that.

Good looking people do better in life, it's a thing.  Indeed, people probably base some of their vote on looks.  I don't think they do it on purpose but they do.  I talked a bit about honest signalling and looks and bird plumage and symmetry and beauty and man I felt like I was teaching.

I've been working on my upcoming courses and Isabelle will be soon too.

Everyone wish Isabelle a happy birthday.

Episode 121 - Our Long National Nightmare Is Over

So, off we went today, along with Jonathan, to do some shopping.

I just got back from MMPR, and I had a great time.  I saw a few people, many of them listeners, and recorded a bit.  There ended up being a running theme throughout, though it was not planned that way.  It is probably the case that that happens each year.

We got some new tables, I put them together yesterday, this was the opposite of fun, though I think I kept my cool pretty well.

While I was gone Isabelle and Jon had some good Mom and son time, so that is a good thing.

THEY HAVE PERNOD AGAIN.  I repeat, THEY HAVE PERNOD AGAIN.

Episode 120 - That's One Sirioos Bonfire

Isabelle is back from her trip to Quebec City and Montreal to visit family and I'll soon be off to #MMPR2016.

We brought Jon along this time to the scene of a Jonathan Files restaurant review, Stackburger.  While this never made it to the recording I want to mention that someone in my fb feed the other day called their food 'salty'.  It's not, and if you don't put salt on the outside of a burger you don't get that nice crust, I'm just saying.

While Isabelle was away we tore down, or cut down, a tree that was growing at a ridiculous rate.   It is a poplar I think.  Five years ago it didn't exist.  Today, it was 40-50 feet high.  It had to go.

We were going to go camping, but the weather looks shitty, so no to that.  Staying in the trailer is one thing, staying in it all day is quite another.

I'll have some post MMPR thoughts next week.
