Broken Area

So we’re back, a little later than normal.

The episode is also a bit shorter than normal, because we had a conversation that we didn’t record for the first half of our usual trip.

I’ve been ‘at’ a conference all week. It was awesome.

It’s really nice out.

We’re getting gigabit internet!

The sign has changed!

Arrow compliance level, 60 percent this week.

A woman had no mask on in the store, but a pair of gloves.

The term is ending and I am going insane.

We’re both under a lot of pressure right now.

It doesn’t help that people are idiots. It was the most stressful shopping day I’ve had.

It is a nice day though.

I hate marking.

I hate plagiarism.

Had to stand in line today at the grocery store and the LCBO but that’s ok.

Mask compliance was fine, but people were too close to each other.

Isabelle had her opening!

I think we’ll be in person in the fall, though I’ll be on sabbatical, making podcasts.

Isabelle’s art is Creative Commons, which is the right thing to do. I have a small rant about intellectual property.

I was a comic genius to the cashiers as usual.

We discuss being French speaking in Ontario.

The sign remains the same.

Mask compliance was 100 % but arrow compliance was only 52 %.

It’s Francophonie Day. It’s Happiness Day. It’s wear real pants that aren’t sweats day. It’s Francophone Week! It’s the First Day of Spring!!!

There are lots of Frenches, just like lots of Englishes. Isabelle explains some of that.

I’ve been riding my bike on my trainer, feels great.

This is the least snowy winter we’ve had since we moved back.

Mask compliance was ok, though I saw one guy slip his down TO TALK TO SOMEONE at the grocery store and one guy just plain not wearing a mask.

The sign made a Life Cereal pull.

Arrow compliance was good at 70%

Earliest title decision ever.

Isabelle has been arting quite well during all of this nonsense.

Classes are going fine.

MY TRAINER CAME IN!!!

The sign was a little suggestive this week.

Only 46% of people followed the arrows this week, sad.

There was lots of stuff in the car that’s now in her studio.

Big news this week. Isabelle did Katimavik back in the early 80s. She was 17. Just this past week some people from her old group contacted her and they’ve been interacting a lot. It’s very cool.

ISABELLE GOT A BIG GRANT FROM THE ONTARIO ARTS COUNCIL..

I did a hilarious impression of her finding out.

It’s nice out. It’s melting!

I think the spring is coming, well, I mean, it must be, but it feels like it too. I don’t like early spring much. Isabelle is cool with any time without snow.

I want to ride my bike.

I’ve marked over 80 tests in a day and a half and I’ve not enjoyed it.

Isabelle is back making stuff at the museum.

81% of people followed the arrows today.

-2C today and sunny. A really nice day. It seems that spring may be coming.

Our break week was nice, though I had 4.5 hours of meetings yesterday. That said, I was able to eat poutine during one of my meetings.

Also, it is not sweatpants day! Proof, see the picture, those aren’t sweat pants.

56 percent of people were going the wrong way down the aisles at the grocery store.

The sign remains the same.

We’ve both learned a lot about hacky video production

Chilly today, but at least we haven’t had any more storms.

Hey the break week is coming!.

Isabelle did a cool Zoom based art workshop for kids and their families. About 80 people attended, pretty great. She had a dual camera setup too.

The sign was not offensive.

People annoy me when they don’t understand arrows.

We have noted in the last few weeks that we haven’t received very much snow. This changed yesterday. We got about 38 cm of snow. We shovelled our driveway four times.

I pile all of the snow in one place which is hampering Isabelle’s view.

I also shovelled this morning.

It’s quite cold now.

Jon will be heading back to the Bushplane Museum.

Hopefully Isabelle will be heading back to the Sault Museum.

I’ll be on endless Zoom calls. Not true, some are Google Meet!

Week 5 of teaching (in a couple of weeks) will be a hellish nightmare.

Some people just don’t do quizzes.
