Episode 238 - The Trendy Thing of the Year Becomes Something Else

It’s the time of year when the weather is shitty.

As an update on last week’s instalment, we don’t yet have our government bought marijuana, but will get it Monday. We also bought Jon a mattress that comes Tuesday.

Today we bought a new vacuum! It’s a Dyson. Isabelle is enjoying using it as I type this.

People are overly paranoid about crossing the border.

We use google at work, which presents challenges now and then.

So, marijuana became legal this week. So that’s a thing. It’s oddly normalized already. Indeed, I’ve seen someone smoking a joint at a bus stop.

Isabelle had a weird experience this week that brought back a flood of bad old memories and experiences.

I was in Toronto for about 22 hours Wednesday and Thursday for a meeting of the Council of Ontario Universities.

We’re going shopping a day early because Isabelle has a thing tomorrow. She just got back from a quick jaunt to the States to pick up a package, I imagine this will come up.

Isabelle showed her art to Jon’s class, they were pretty impressed and asked really good questions about the work. Jon really loves the program he is in and is getting a lot out of it.

They’ve rearranged the grocery store due to renovations, it is driving me insane.

I’m off to the COU again next week, fun stuff. Freedom of expression on campus is the issue we’ll be discussing.
