Episode 173 - Roughly Handling My Sandwich

Hey, we're back!  Oh and the LCBO didn't go on strike!

We went to London to visit my family, have a birthday party for me, but, much more importantly, go to the Ontario Miniature Print Exhibition.  It was really good!  Isabelle had a piece in the show, and the people there were really great.  They were really happy Isabelle came all the way from Sault Ste. Marie.  I don't think they cared about me.  The artist who was judged to have the best prints gave a talk, and it was really good.

So there was this guy in the grocery store who was impatient and rushing around.  So, I called him 'pal' condescendingly and he stopped bother me.  He still acted like a twit to others though.

Isabelle got something to eat at the store, but they didn't scan for points, controversy ensued.

I'm off the MMPR next weekend, so I'm not sure when the next one will be out.

Oh, yeah, I'll be on the Damned Fine Podcast (about Twin Peaks) this Sunday.

Episode 172 - Stocking Up

Isabelle is back from her trip to Montreal and Quebec City.  She was pretty much on the road most of the time, visiting different people.

Yesterday was my birthday.  Isabelle made a great dinner and we had a couple of people over.  She really rocked it.

It is also St. Jean Baptiste Day.  So there's that.

What the heck happened to Dow Beer?

Why does liquor have to be sold by a government agency?  I'm curious what the arguments are.  Oh you can now buy beer in our grocery store.

My brother went to see U2, as the guest of Larry Mullen Jr.  So that's a thing.

Episode 171 - Devin's Art Heist

It's a special Tuesday edition of Monday Night Football!

Isabelle had a bunch of her student art collection (her work and her student colleagues' work that is throughout our house) on display this past weekend as it was a convocation open house thing.  It was great to see all of it, but now we had to remove it and take it home.  Sorta felt like we were Ocean's 11.

Isabelle is off to Montreal and Quebec City tomorrow, so we did a quick grocery shopping trip today to pick up a few things.

I paid entirely with points!

I wonder how you get people to realize that they need festivals and art and such in a town?  We figure it has something to do with #awareness.  Indeed, often people don't know they need or want something until you point it out to them.

Have a great trip Isabelle!
