Episode 235 - Thankgivings

So it is Thanksgiving weekend in Canada. Also, that means I have to cook a turkey, which I don’t mind doing. Hey, fresh turkeys!

We were pretty speechless over the SCOTUS stuff. America, you’re really in trouble.

The term is in full swing, and both of our classes are going well.

Maddie is visiting for a wedding.

Isabelle’s art that she showed recently is inspired by Jon. We talked a bit about what it was like a few years back, after being reminded by looking at an old journal we kept.


Episode 234 - Boom, It's a Living Room Loom

Hey, I’m writing this a DAY early.

Hey we have a loom! Some assembly required.

Isabelle and Jon had a show yesterday and today, that’s pretty great. I think it’s great that Isabelle includes Jon in her work. Indeed this is an actual collaboration between the two of them.

We of course talked about the SCOTUS hearings. It is disheartening and disturbing. Not just the hearings and their outcome (which is to be determined) but what women go through every damned day. I’ve been trying over the last few years to be aware of that sort of thing. Isabelle gave some great examples of what women face, daily.

And now over to Dave with the weather. Yeah, it’s 5 degrees out as I type this. Probably warmer once we go shopping. It was super windy yesterday, gusts up to 90 km/h, lots of people lost power, and even the hockey game was canceled.

Isabelle prevented herself from buying another typewriter.

Jon, for reasons unknown, needs more sunglasses.

We’ve been watching a lot of Amazon Prime recently, including Jack Ryan (just me) as well as 30 Rock and The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel (both of us). The latter is full of anachronisms that drive me crazy.

The sexy handmaiden costume is a thing.
