Hey, It's Maddie's birthday! She's 25, we're old.
Seems a little stormy today, we'll see how that plays out.
Friend of the show and Best Episode Ever compatriot Greg David sent us some Wynona Earp (for Jon) and Highway Through Hell stuff (for Isabelle).
Oh, Isabelle we have to go to the beer store.
School starts up soon, so Isabelle bought some hats and t shirts for Jon. And an electric pencil sharpener. And some antlers.
Don't forget, we have to go to the beer store
It's a somewhat dreary grey day, though it has finally cooled some. The fall is coming.
I was in Toronto this week for a day for a meeting, will this come up while we head our for groceries? Look, I don't know, what am I, some sort of psychic? Yes, I'm clearly writing this before we go out.
We had a pretty good talk about institutionalized sexism. Also sort of internalized sexism.
Isabelle will be teaching in the fall.
Jon's getting his hair cut today.
So this one is out a bit earlier than usual on Saturday because we recorded it on a little shuttle mission between camping at Pancake Bay provincial Park and home.
Isabelle is on an art retreat this weekend up by Lake Superior. Jon and I came for night one, but once the arting starts, it's time for us to head home. Plus, Jon is not much on anywhere that doesn't have wifi....
We talked about art of course, about how the Group of Seven are hacks (at least as far as I'm concerned) and how the world is a really small place. Turns out that the person Isabelle is retreating with has a daughter who I taught back in the 90s, and she also knows two guys that my brother teaches at Fanshawe. Wild.
