  • Broken Area - Episode 265 - Forty Four
    It it ever a nice day! It’s supposed to go up to 17 today. Here’s hoping it goes up even higher. That said, I’m typing this well before we go and it is currently -1C.
    We finished our Battlestar Galactica watch through. A character said ‘do your job’ 44 times.
    I’ve brought a computer back to the world of the living. Pretty nice.
    Isabelle will be returning to cow questing shortly.
    We’re hoping that the weather holds. Looks like a good bike riding day. Hopefully it won’t just rain and rain and rain all week, but we fear it might.

  • Broken Area - Episode 263 - Looms To Spare With George Washington's Tights
    We’re back, and boy has the weather changed! It’s NICE OUT. We’re biking again, and it’s awesome.
    Isabelle was in Halifax to see her friend’s MFA show. The weather there was awful and she had a three hour delay. Then our friend Jackie picked her up.
    I was in Florida (and our friend Ken drove me to the airport). All my flights, for a change, were fine. But, Maddie was there and things didn’t go as well for her. She got stuck at customs and missed her flight. That said, eventually she got there and gave a great talk.
    The other day in the store a guy commented on my pants. It was odd.
    Isabelle is giving her table top loom (we’ve got like more than one loom……) to a friend.

  • Broken Area - Episode 262 - A Quilted Patchwork of Downtowns
    Hey, why is this out so early? Well, because Isabelle has singing practice. Also, this one’s a little shorter than usual because I went to the LCBO yesterday.
    I think spring might be here! Then again, yesterday smelled a lot like Christmas.
    The term is over. I’m pretty excited about that.
    Isabelle’s trip to Halifax is coming up. Then it’s my trip to Florida. So, there might not be an episode next week. In fact almost certainly there won’t be.
    Isabelle went to Sudbury recently. She reports that it feels like lots of places patched together. That is because it is! ‘Greater Sudbury’ (which sounds ominous to me) was created I think at the end of the 90s. It’s the biggest, by area, city in Canada.

  • Broken Area - Episode 261 - The Asteroid Field of Potholes
    The melt is real, real ugly that is.
    Still, the idea that spring is coming and the winter is over is attractive. It was about 0C when we shopped.
    Look, I know we talk a lot about the potholes, but fuck, I mean, there are potholes that you’d have to get Evel Knievel to build you a ramp to negotiate. That, as an aside, is likely the most poorly constructed sentence I’ve ever written.
    The term is almost over, thank whatever deity or non deity you wish.
    In a couple of weeks I’m off to Florida and just before that Isa will be on her way to Halifax.

  • Broken Area - Episode 260 - Potholecast
    Looks like it will be a high of 5C today preettttty niiiiiice.
    So, the honours thesis talks were yesterday. I had a fun, if very long, day.
    Also JON TURNED 18! He’s quite enamoured with the idea of being an adult. Who could blame him?
    We’ve made it through February and much of March. I’m not going to lie, this winter was a battle. However, we are now in the tunnel and now can see light.
    Isabelle is off to Sudbury for a quick trip this week.
