Broken Area

It's spring for sure.  That means rain.  Well, at least you don't have to shovel rain.

Jon came with us today, which is always a plus.  I feel bad, he took literally that we'd get a box, but we didn't need one.  Next time he comes I promise we'll get a box.

It is illegal in Ontario for a minor to even hold a bottle of alcohol in the LCBO, that seems weird.  Even weirder was the two of us trying to translate that into French....

Jon can learn Mandarin right after he masters French.

I'm off to a conference next week, so I'll report on that next episode.

It is Easter weekend, which means there are a lot of people who don't know how to shop shopping.

Wow, what a nice day. In fact we are about to break a record for a high temperature here for this day.

Isabelle is finishing up her printmaking class and she's using some sort of cool Japanese paper.  Sounds great.

A fellow student presented his final project this morning, and Isabelle attended, which explains why we are getting this out a bit late.  He was pretty good apparently.  I noted that by fourth year they do get good at presenting their own work to a crowd.  It is amazing watching the growth of confidence in students.

THE TERM IS OVER.  I'm doing a lot of marking.  I received 74 essay on Wednesday.  I'm now down to three!

Hopefully Jon will want to go shoot hoops later.

And yes, a bag, not a box.....

OK, so it really is spring!

Now spring is actually, in its early incarnation, rather ugly.  Brown, smelly etc.  It will get nice soon.

Yesterday the psychology students presented their honours theses to the university community.  That was a lot of fun, and they did very well.  My students bought me some Pernod!

There are potholes, there are lots of them.

Isabelle will soon be starting on her summer art project and she is currently finishing her printmaking project for school.

She's doing her thesis next year, awesome.  I will attend that artist's talk and ask inane questions.

Yeah, I know I said in it there is another title, but I forgot what it was.

Thanks for the great term everyone!

This was, indeed, a triumph

Isabelle is off arting. However, Madeleine is in town.  

So, Maddie took me shopping, and we recorded a fine show.

When coming home, sometimes you are more busy with the visiting and such than you would be if you were at work or school.  

A woman all in white (a brave choice on a day that is pretty muddy) was following us.  OK, not following us, indeed, we were probably more following her.

We got a box Jon.

I DIDN'T GET MY PC POINTS!

Oh, we released our Sault Ste. Marie mall power rankings.

It's the final topic!

It's still snowing.

Stop it!

I've been more involved in stuff at work again, it is going well.  I've been involved in reviewing our English department, and it has been fun so far.

It's Jon's birthday coming up, which is great, and Maddie will be visiting, which is great.

In the accompanying picture you can see the cafe where Isabelle hangs out when I shop.

Most people wouldn't realize it but both Isabelle and I are pretty private people and pretty shy.  Yeah ok, so we record our thoughts and put them on the open internet, but still....
