I'm just writing things now in order for me to have a placeholder for after we come back from shopping.

We went to Sudbury last weekend, so maybe we'll talk about that.  Hey, you know, I could actually write all this stuff in advance, and then sort of drive the conversation in the direction of what I've pre typed!  That sounds like effort though.

Hey, we did talk about Sudbury.  Isabelle enjoyed the play she went to and Jon and I enjoyed seeing 'Game Night'.  In fact there's a Jonathan Files review on his podcast.

I'm back in my old office, but my coffee maker broke, so I bought a new one.

If there was an olympic event in money spending, Jonno might medal.  

Isabelle is getting a bit tired of her project, but that makes sense as she's in the tunnel and can see the light at the end of it.

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.
