Episode 262 - A Quilted Patchwork of Downtowns

Hey, why is this out so early? Well, because Isabelle has singing practice. Also, this one’s a little shorter than usual because I went to the LCBO yesterday.

I think spring might be here! Then again, yesterday smelled a lot like Christmas.

The term is over. I’m pretty excited about that.

Isabelle’s trip to Halifax is coming up. Then it’s my trip to Florida. So, there might not be an episode next week. In fact almost certainly there won’t be.

Isabelle went to Sudbury recently. She reports that it feels like lots of places patched together. That is because it is! ‘Greater Sudbury’ (which sounds ominous to me) was created I think at the end of the 90s. It’s the biggest, by area, city in Canada.

Episode 261 - The Asteroid Field of Potholes

The melt is real, real ugly that is.

Still, the idea that spring is coming and the winter is over is attractive. It was about 0C when we shopped.

Look, I know we talk a lot about the potholes, but fuck, I mean, there are potholes that you’d have to get Evel Knievel to build you a ramp to negotiate. That, as an aside, is likely the most poorly constructed sentence I’ve ever written.

The term is almost over, thank whatever deity or non deity you wish.

In a couple of weeks I’m off to Florida and just before that Isa will be on her way to Halifax.

Episode 260 - Potholecast

Looks like it will be a high of 5C today preettttty niiiiiice.

So, the honours thesis talks were yesterday. I had a fun, if very long, day.

Also JON TURNED 18! He’s quite enamoured with the idea of being an adult. Who could blame him?

We’ve made it through February and much of March. I’m not going to lie, this winter was a battle. However, we are now in the tunnel and now can see light.

Isabelle is off to Sudbury for a quick trip this week.
