Episode 290 -- Eleven Minutes To The Package

As I often do, I’m writing this in advance of actually going shopping.

I never know what we’ll talk about, but I can be pretty sure we’re going to mention the biblical level rain we had on Monday night. We got 135 mm of rain in that day, but both in bouts of about an hour. We’ve been through a couple of hurricanes. I’ve never seen rain like this. There was, of course, flooding. Happily, our Cadillac of sump pumps kept everything dry.

Google knows we are shopping.

I got an Amazon package, picked it up at a weird and wonderful store.

Isabelle’s done her brains.

What’s the deal on people on planes?

Episode 289 - Bumpsylvania

So I just got back from my whirlwind tour of Bucknell University’s animal behaviour program. It was a great trip. That said, I had to run through airports. The Delta airlines people were great at helping me get to gates.

Lewisburg, where the university is, is a nice little town. I had fun talking to colleagues and visiting research labs. But wow, it was draining. I’m happy to be home.

Isabelle is working on a series of paintings about brains. Great stuff.

It’s getting cooler out, fall is here.

Isabelle will be going to a performance art thing tonight. We talked about performance art and its relationship to art in general.

Episode 288 - A Pile of Throwaway Things

It’s been quite warm (for here) recently. Indeed, probably 27 or something today eventually. Supposed to be a thunderstorm later on though.

Jon was very excited last night about the series finale of Killjoys.

Isabelle went to Sudbury on Thursday for an art dealio.

The term is going well so far. I’m off to Pennsylvania next week.

We talked a lot about emails this week and how they can, and can’t be the best way to communicate. We think it depends a lot on the receiver, almost more than the writer maybe?
