Six years ago today we were i a special level of hell

Six years ago today we were i a special level of hell

OK, so I was looking through that facebook ‘On This Day’ deal and found a picture from 2012. It turns out that 2012 had the same December we currently have, meaning December 22 was on a Saturday. Well, let’s see how that looked. You can see in the photo that it was a nightmare. OK, my hope, as I type this, is that it is not that bad, but I fear it may be worse. At least the renovations are done at the grocery store.

I’m sure the liquor store will be fine.

Actually a bit better this year.

Hey, Maddie is in town!

We are beta testing a new podcasting app, Backpack Studio, the successor to Bossjock. Well, it crashed and we lost our first segment. So, I guess I’ll file a bug report….

We’re going to make art this afternoon. Me, Isabelle, Jon, Maddie and Ross. It will be inspired by Ross’s Mom Tammy who died a little over a year ago.

The grocery store was a nightmare, and holy crap is it hot in there.

The LCBO was not as bad.

Isabelle might be having a show soon!

Christmas Eve is our own tradition. Each of us makes a dish or two. This year it’s tapas.

Merry Christmas to all of you from the Michaud-Brodbeck family.







Episode 246 - CGI Pea Soup

It’s one week until th evil shopping. I bet it’ll be a nightmare today.

ISABELLE GOT ANOTHER GRANT!!! It’s for doing art with special needs kids. Pretty great.

She was also on Radio Canada the other day and you can hear her interview on today’s podcast.

We had the work Christmas party yesterday and it was a lot of fun.

Isabelle doesn’t know who that person was who went to Algeria.

I don’t have a lot of friends here. I’m not upset by it or anything, it’s just a thing.

Isabelle and Alicia (a friend of hers) will go tobogganing and then draw.

It was super foggy today, though the picture here does not really do that justice. That is, however, where Isa will toboggan.




Episode 245 - Christmas Tree Special 2018

This is the fourth time we’ve gone to get a tree. Well, I mean, it isn’t the fourth time we’ve got a tree, but the fourth time we’ve done that and recorded it.

A couple of years ago we figured out that it was pretty easy to put the tree in the bak of the car. So we’ll do that again.

We culled our old ornaments yesterday. We had some old ones…

I can’t drink egg nog while decorating the tree today, because I have to be on another podcast later today.
