Episode 206 - Friday Squarecast

We're busy tomorrow, so why not do a podcast today while shopping?

Why not indeed.

It's springish out!  Like only 0 degrees C, and sunny and melting.

Isabelle saw the movie 'The Square' yesterday, listen for her review.  Sounds like a pretty scathing satire of the art world.

The cashier at the grocery store was concerned that I might have switched stores.  I made a funny funny joke to a woman at the store as well.

At the LCBO I had a lovely interaction with a clerk who was trying to help me select gin.

Isabelle's friend Zenith is sick, get well soon.

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.
