Well I hope everyone had a nice Christmas or whatever you do or don’t celebrate. As an aside, we got a nice e card from Rachel, thanks!

So Christmas itself was excellent. Christmas Eve dinner was great. Jon really loved the stuff he got from everyone, but especially the stuff that Doug Slater sent him. Really out, you made his day. The letter was really nice too.

Then Maddie got sick, which sorta sucks.

Isabelle’s sister has a toy store, so this is her busy time.

We’re both sorta out of it, it’s that time of year.

I got Isabelle a scroll saw for Christmas because I’m awesome.


Episode 304 - My Neurons Take a More Convoluted Path

So this should be our last episode before Christmas. We’re shopping a day early to avoid, hopefully, the horribleness of a Saturday before Christmas outing. We’ve not left yet, but I’m hoping.

OK, turns out it really wasn’t that bad at all.

Oh, umm, a truck was beside us that had the Beatles on the side of it.

I cashed in my PC points too.

Now, the LCBO, it was packed.

Hey, Isabelle is a published citizen journalist!

Merry Christmas from us!


Episode 303 - Outside of Playing the Spoons

The title refers to a thing Isabelle said that we lost sadly, so today’s is about 25 minutes shorter than usual.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Well, in that the calendar is approaching the 25th anyway. Nasty weather just above freezing, roads are awful.

We went to the work Christmas party yesterday. Free Wings!

We hung out with a couple of women we really like, Laurie and Jenn. Isabelle also met some new people, which was cool.

I thought I’d lost my earbuds, but they were in the car.
