Episode 143 - Not Illustrative

I had a great idea for a title, alas, rejected.  This title is pretty good too, but mine was gold Jerry, gold.

Today we have FOUR stops, as we're returning empties!  We also got gas.

It is the end of term, this pleases both of us.

Isabelle will be devoting her time to her art, and another thing we can't yet talk about.  She also is looking in to making her series on the cow and the zebra into a kids book.  Very exciting that.  The thing is that the story came from the painting rather than the pictures coming from the story.

It's getting cold in norther Ontario, -9 today.  

We hope you like this one.

Oh, and, one more thing......

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.
