Episode 205 - Men of Technology and Resource Extraction

Four stops today, as we had empties to return.

Isabelle sometimes feels like she is between two worlds, one of science and technology and the other on where you don't 'make anything' but knowledge or art.  I don't think many people are that self aware, so bravo to her.

Our friend Mike, the virtual yooper is visiting, well visited yesterday and will be back Sunday night as he is at podcamp Toronto.  I only have time in my schedule for one podcasting event per year, and it is MMPR.

OK, for some reason I was named a 'top writer' on the website Quora.  Wild.  I get a subscription to the New York Times out of it, so t that's pretty cool.

I can type fast.  Indeed I'm typing this right now without looking at the screen.

Episode 204 - I'm Aware of Knitting

Come with us, a day early, to shop and all that.

Hey the break is here!  I'm pleased about that.

I made Isabelle laugh on Boundary road, rather than near the train tracks on the way back, weird eh?

There was a recent documentary about the opiate crisis in our city.  It was pretty amazing.  We talked a bit about that.

People in the store were blocking my way again.  They were having a 'debate' about which frozen french fries to buy.  I rendered a decent impression of them.

We ended on a pretty serious note, speaking about the recent school shooting in the US.  We're angry.

Episode 203 - John

We lost a very close friend this week, John, who knew Isabelle almost as long as I've known her.  He would hang out at our place in Toronto, he hung out in the lab, indeed he even had a spot in the animal behaviour group's coffee pool.  He came to our wedding etc.  John and I used to get very excited about the PC Insider's Report as well.

Speaking of groceries, we had the worst cashier ever.  Now she's very nice, and I wouldn't like complain to the management or anything, but she makes some, oh, creative bagging choices.

BOX!!!

Isabelle is having a visit from a friend at the studio today, should be fun.  She's known Michelle for quite a while, and we got the story of that.

I've got Olympic Fever!
