Episode 249 - This Store Is A Nuclear Furnace

IMG_2764.jpeg

Pretty grey out today. Not too cold.

In fact, even though I wore a short sleeved shirt in the store (under my coat) I was still all sweaty from the roller boogie. The store is warm.

Isabelle is buying lots of supplies for her upcoming art project with the kids at Jon’s high school.

Backpack studio is working well.

The liquor store was empty, eerily so.

Jon saw someone get arrested yesterday, kinda freaked him out.

Jon got new fish today too, which is good.


Episode 248 - Pretty Nice

So Christmas has come and gone. It was pretty great. Now, on to New Year’s Eve! NYE is the worst holiday ever, as I’ve mentioned on this podcast and others.

Looks like Backpack studio worked today.

The roads are horrible. It was very warm and slushy, then it was -17. This causes bumpiness.

Isabelle got me a new coat and boots so I have a new winter look.

The cashier at the grocery store agrees that New Year’s Eve sucks.

The LCBO and the grocery store weren’t that busy, oddly.

We talked about the change from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar, because we are awesome.


Episode 247 - Shiny Holiday Moms

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.
