Episode 142 - The Invasion of the Philistines

Jon got a little arted out after a while...

So, I had a work trip to Toronto for the Council of Ontario Universities, and, there was a show at the Art Gallery of Ontario.  Plus, Porter had a deal on cheap flights, so why not all of us go to Toronto?  So, well, so we did.

(To be clear, Jon and I, probably mostly me, that's what the title refers to).

It was Jon's first flight since he was a baby, and it went well.

I worked, and then instead of coming back to a hotel room that was empty, I came back to see Isabelle and Jon!  This pleased me.

We also met up with old friends we hadn't seen in 18 years, which was great.

We went to the show at the AGO, there was some good stuff.  Also, there was stuff by hacks...

We went through the drive through on the way home, in honour of Jason Reese.

Episode 141 - Firenaversary

Four years ago today we had our fire.  The one referenced in our tag line 'We're back, and our dryer is on fire'.  In retrospect it is sort of funny, and I am still very cautious about the lint trap.

12-3 was an inside job man, wake up Sheeple!

Hey, the term is over.  Well, basically over anyway, so we have that going for us as well.

Weird thing yesterday, while I was in a meeting our university president resigned.  A former president, and French department colleague of Isabelle's will take over.

I think Isabelle should get a smock.  I also quite like saying the word 'smock'.

I googled where Hawaiian shirts come from!

Jon did the music at a school basketball game to much acclaim.

I'm going to make eggnog. 

Isabelle likes beetles but didn't want to hear the Beatles.

Episode 140 - A 14A Television Show

So we went shopping a day early as Isabelle has a thing tomorrow.

Yesterday she went to an art exhibit that was all video.  It doesn't sound like something I would have liked much, though the story of the cow that fell down the hole is compelling.  The shite and black lines, not so much.

I saw a box of water for sale at the grocery store.  Western Civilization is nearly dead.

The thing she is off to is an art show.  She made a bunch of small paintings for it and some other stuff.  She'll be at a table selling stuff with friends and that is the important thing really.

Oh, Jon came along on this one as he had a PD Day today.  Indeed every kid in town was off school.  Jon gave us our title today.
