Broken Area

Where stuff is, a bit of what it does.  Oh, apparently I messed up the definition of anterior today.  Weird.

It’s Saturday!

We’re now into the school year proper, things are getting into a routine, and that is good.

As Isabelle progresses in her collaborative project with Jon she has been looking back on when Jon was little and we were confused by this agency and that one. It was like we were in the emergency room for 5 years or so.

Isabelle got another grant done.

People were reasonable in the grocery store today.

How do animals see and hear and touch and sense and all that.  A sort of Umwelt if you will....

Where did we come from, and, how did we get here?

Music 'Re: Your Brains' by Jonathan Coulton

Let us begin speaking of the cognition and the animals and such.

Music 'First Semester Freedom Fighter' by Her or Highwater

Here we go.

Music 'Hundred Times Over' by Private Joker

Well that's one week of school down, just twelve left to go!

Seems like a nice day today, here's hoping everything grocery shopping wise also goes well.

Isabelle talked a bit about her experiences with typewriters.  Plus, how she once won an award for writing, and another time she won an award for writing but the typist took credit!  

Are there still typists?

A person behaved horribly in the grocery store.  I was not impressed.

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

It's a somewhat dreary grey day, though it has finally cooled some.  The fall is coming.  

I was in Toronto this week for a day for a meeting, will this come up while we head our for groceries?  Look, I don't know, what am I, some sort of psychic?  Yes, I'm clearly writing this before we go out.

We had a pretty good talk about institutionalized sexism.  Also sort of internalized sexism.

Isabelle will be teaching in the fall.

Jon's getting his hair cut today.

So this one is out a bit earlier than usual on Saturday because we recorded it on a little shuttle mission between camping at Pancake Bay provincial Park and home.  

Isabelle is on an art retreat this weekend up by Lake Superior.  Jon and I came for night one, but once the arting starts, it's time for us to head home.  Plus, Jon is not much on anywhere that doesn't have wifi....

We talked about art of course, about how the Group of Seven are hacks (at least as far as I'm concerned) and how the world is a really small place.  Turns out that the person Isabelle is retreating with has a daughter who I taught back in the 90s, and she also knows two guys that my brother teaches at Fanshawe.  Wild.
