Broken Area

Pretty chilly today, indeed it may snow tonight.

Isabelle just submitted a grant.

You can probably guess this one has a lot of talk about identity.

Isabelle isn’t much on theory in art. Nor am I, but I’m no expert really.

Grocery shopping isn’t what it used to be, sadly.

Cover your nose with your mask please.

We got a new monitor, I can now see the pointer!

We’ve been zooming all week. We’re getting the hang of it.

Neither of us are doing our classes the same way we did face to face.

Oddly warm for this time of year, 18C when we went out, As I type this it is 21C.

Lots of people don’t get how to do stuff over video conferencing platforms.

I don’t like when the host of a meeting turns off everyone’s camera, nor does isabelle. In person do these people put bags over others’ heads?

Arrows are followed better now, but people are slacking in the distancing department.

Rainy Saturday, 14 C.

We both taught from home this week. It went decently.

Remember that NDA thing Isabelle was on? Well, now she can tell us. She was on an Ontario Arts Council Jury. It was a lot of work, but valuable experience.

Isabelle is working on an artist’s talk. She has crazy photos from her childhood to inspire her.

I started my Mad Men podcast with Steve.

We came up with the title before we started recording, and with the picture here you can probably tell why.

Maddie is visiting!

it’s the fall, weather wise.

We’re gearing up for the term.

Isabelle is also gearing up for her residency at the local museum.

I’m in a fantasy baseball league, I have no idea what I’m doing.

I biked 753 km in August.

The bike path is finally repaved!

Three stops today, we needed a doorknob. It turns out, the whole thing is called a doorknob. Who knew?

Our worst fears about our friend Sally turned out sadly to be true. Thanks to many of you who contacted us and for your kind words.

We’re getting ready for the coming term.

Maddie will visit next week, I’m making Korean food.

Isabelle has a residency coming up soon.

Our friends Brent and Brandy are getting married this weekend. We ‘went’ to a rehearsal this week (via Zoom).

So yup, the Saturday thing is back to stay.

It got really humid.

I’ve continued to bike.

A friend of ours is missing, it is very concerning, and all very confusing.

Isabelle has been recording lectures for the fall.

I too have been recording lectures, and adding dumb sound effects because I’m me.

Isabelle’s class from NSCAD is done.

French verb tenses are boring.

We’re back to our regular Saturday schedule. Though, today we also went to the cannabis store. Plus, we lost some audio, such is the life of a beta tester. We were talking about our upcoming online courses, but you’ll never hear that.

We got a nice package from Brandy and Brent.

Isabelle’s done her thing she can’t talk about.

It’s been warm.

Me and a guy in the grocery store commiserated about how dumb people are who can’t follow arrows.

I made fun of a guy who beeped at me on my bike this morning.

I also got in an extremely slow motion bike accident this week (I’m fine).

It’s come to the point where I’m just entitling these things with what we did.

Jon had a dental appointment, and the dentist is across the street from the grocery store, so YAY!

Oh Jon’s teeth are fine thank you. Jon and i have excellent teeth. Mine are chipped some and mine build up plaque easily. Now you know more than you ought to about my teeth.

People were decently behaved today.

Nice day today, about 21 degrees. It was very windy this morning, so I biked less than usual.

Oh then Isabelle and I talked about doing online teaching during this whole COVID deal.

We started podcasting 15 years ago today. Cool eh?

Were we the first Canadian ‘couplecast’? Nope, just looked Bob and Cat did the Catfish Show starting in December of 04. Wow.

OK, maybe we’re the longest running….

People weren’t distancing today very well in the store.

We’re going to a backyard dinner tonight. Socializing. Weird.

Isabelle accompanied me on bike ride yesterday. Today her legs were heavy.

I ride a lot.
