Hey, It's Maddie's birthday! She's 25, we're old.
Seems a little stormy today, we'll see how that plays out.
Friend of the show and Best Episode Ever compatriot Greg David sent us some Wynona Earp (for Jon) and Highway Through Hell stuff (for Isabelle).
Oh, Isabelle we have to go to the beer store.
School starts up soon, so Isabelle bought some hats and t shirts for Jon. And an electric pencil sharpener. And some antlers.
Don't forget, we have to go to the beer store
So we had an eventful week.
We went down to London to watch Maddie get her MSc. Stayed with my Mom which was pretty great, and also ordered Chinese food, which I have a thing for.
The convocation itself was truly excellent. UWO know how to do this. Frankly, it is way better than ours at AU (which is pretty good, but Western's is just better). The band played them on to the Olympic anthem, which was great. Oh and they played the Raiders of the Lost Ark theme when they were leaving, then, Sweet Georgia Brown.
They don't have the full video up yet, but they do have the honorary degree speech, which you can see here:
I'll post a link to the part where Maddie gets her degree when it is up.
Halloween is coming, which means I have to hide candy from Isabelle and Jon....
Isabelle bought some wood for her work (you can see the pic above) and she explained more about her final project.
Today's episode is a little longer than usual because we took Maddie back to the airport. She was supposed to go home yesterday, but many Air Canada flights were cancelled due to lightning in Toronto. So, they rescheduled for today.
Then I needed chain lube for my bike. So, we stopped at a very cool bike shop in town and picked some up. Then we hung out there a bit, you can hear a bit of us being there, the people there at Velorution are great. They never make you feel like a noob, and they aren't pushy at all. It is a great store. As an aside, I may have become addicted to biking.
Then, it was off to shopping.
Hey, Isabelle has a job interview on Thursday. Send positive vibes and such.
Jon came with us, but didn't say much really.
Enjoy.
