Episode 418 - Baby It's Cold Outside

This is what we were greeted with this morning

-30 is cold. I don’t care what temperature scale you are using.

My first week back teaching online, went well.

Isabelle has some great stuff coming up at her micro gallery.

It was fun hearing her process.

Saw two people today with their noses not covered. Idiots.

Wore an N95 to shop today, so there’s that.

Seems like there were fewer people out than usually, but that may be because we went shopping about 30 min earlier than usual.

Did I mention how freaking cold it was?

Episode 252 - The Spontaneity of Grocery Shopping

Look I’m sorry I’m harping on this, and using roughly the same sentence as last week, but man it is cold. It is currently, as I type this at 8 am, -28C. It’s one of those morning where the first thing you do is check to see if the pipes are frozen.

Jon has an Oscar pool you should enter.

Isabelle’s program about abstract art for kids is done for now. It picks back up in May. We talked a bit about getting kids to do abstract stuff and how hard that is.

They’re slowly installing new, energy efficient, windows at the U, hence the picture. They’re doing mine Monday night. So, I have to move some stuff. I’m not moving my filing cabinet, wrong union….

We had quite a few stops today, but Backpack studio seems to have held on.

Episode 250 - Frozen Area

For the first time ever, I’ve come up with a title before we record. We all just got up, and I started to do my regular routine of checking stuff, including the weather. It’s -24 C our. That, for those of you scoring at home, has a technical name. Fucking Cold.

Isabelle’s project with Jon’s high school starts next week, exciting stuff.

Backpack studio crashed, but, I had a backup recorder because I’m me. So half is on a Zoom H2.

People were standing around in the grocery store in the way, it was really annoying.

We made a bunch of stops today for your listening pleasure.

We’ve done 250 of these (and 118 of the hold show). Thanks to everyone for listening!
