  • Episode 515 - Double Digit November

    It’s November.

    It’s not super nasty out, so any decent day is a win.

    Isabelle has been super busy arting.

    I’m in that sort of calm before the storm part of the term.

    Isabelle managed to buy clothes at the store in the time between me getting to the checkout and paying. It was impressive.

    We might be buying a fake Christmas tree, which will end our Christmas tree episodes….

  • Episode 514 - Don't Touch the Halls

    We had a big trip this week.

    Not to bury the lede, but there are now two Dr.s Brodbeck in the family.

    Our drive was eventful.

    On the way home we ate Chinese food in a gas station parking lot.

    We’re very proud of Maddie.

    We’re very proud of Jon too, he was great at home giving out candy and all of that.

    As usual Isabelle has art stuff coming up and I have teaching stuff.

  • Episode 513 - Today is Yesterday

    Is that the title of a Star Trek Episode? I know there’s a Tomorrow is Yesterday and All our Yesterdays.

    The title refers to the fact that we recorded this on Friday, but I’m putting it out on Saturday.

    I’m writing this on Saturday, but we recoded this yesterday, so I can’t remember everything we talked about.

    I know we talked about a couple of tragedies that have happened recently.

    We also talked about Maddie’s upcoming PhD defence.

    Friday shopping, might be ok.

    Oh you might hear a little Jon in the background

  • Episode 512 - Award Winning

    Let’s start off by saying that Isabelle got a big award this week!

    You can hear her acceptance speech in this episode.

    It was nice that people from the U, including the president, were there.

    It’s hard being a one person anything.

    A little cool today.

    I bought the Halloween candy this week because I plan ahead!

  • Episode 511 - Hair Commas

    Nice day today, 8C, clear, though windy.

    Isabelle’s hair makes punctuation.

    Isabelle got some arm warmers which, I didn’t know were a thing.

    Not too busy today, I guess everyone was burnt out from thanksgiving or something..

    We had friends over!

    Oh and some really bad stuff happened to our neighbours. We’re thinking of them.

  • Episode 510 - NineNineNineNine

    Maybe this should have been last week’s title.

    Also, this is likely the earliest in an episode where we have come up with a title.

    OK, the heat wave is over, it is 9 degrees out.

    Also it is grey. I think I may take my bike in.

    Isabelle didn’t get a grant, ahh well, can’t win ‘em all, but it’s nice if you can.

    It’s the break week!

  • Episode 509 - Event Planning

    Relatively quiet week.

    It’s still sorta warm, it’s weird. Rainy though a bit.

    There’s a test in one of my classes next week.

    Jon is still doing great in my class.

    We went to a dinner, it was fun, until the line dancing started.

    Event planning is not a one person job.

  • Episode 508 - Not Her Again

    Isabelle is back from her trip to Ottawa.

    Jon and I had a good week while she was away.

    It’s super warm out.

    Isabelle met a Senator.

    We’re going to a Franco thing tomorrow.

    Not Francisco Franco you idiots…

  • Episode 507 - Me Old Am

    We went early this week, Isabelle has a thing at noon.

    So it’s the first week, well the first real week of the term.

    It’s fine, everything is fine…

    Isabelle was on tv this week!

    Jon seems to be enjoying my classes.

    Nice day today, might get a ride in.

    It’s been decent out all week really.
