Happy New Year! Sadly we couldn’t go down to London to visit. The weather was insane. I mean, it’s still not great….. Jon came along. Saw Brandon in the store for the first time in a while. I’m burying the lede here, Isabelle will have some of her short films critiqued, with is kinda great.

Merry Post Christmas! Short one today. We didn’t need too much stuff, but you know, you kind of have to. Christmas was great! Jon got a new phone! We saw Ken and Jackie. I actually feel like I’m on vacation.

Wow, we’ve done 600 of these things (and 118 of Broca’s Area, but that’s neither here nore there). Our last grocery trip until after Christmas. I cashed in PC points this week, so groceries were under 10 bucks… We went to breakfast this morning. One of the people working at the restaurant was a guy who used to play with Maddie when she was like 10. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from our family to yours!

Isabelle has done a test run of her pudding, so we’ll have it tonight. It was invented by the wife of the mayor of Montreal. Oh her name was Georgette Falardeau. Went a day early to avoid people. Jon came! First LCBO trip since October 2. Box.

You’ll have to listen to get the title. Isabelle is back from a conference about immigration in Sudbury. We dropped a bench off at her studio. No Jonno today. Our car sensors were obscured. Isabelle is making a traditional French Canadian dessert today.

CNDOP She bop a you bop. Yeah it’s CNDOP, so we have a bonus episode for you! Also, I needed a new bulb for the oven. I bought a bulb for the oven yesterday and proceeded to lose it. Why does anyone listen to us? We have no idea, but after 20 years, hell, we don’t really care that much Enjoy CNDOP everyone!

Term is almost over! Winter has come. I had a long meeting this week, but a good one. We recount stories of Jon. (Oh, yeah, Jonno stayed home today). We went a bit earlier, so that made things a touch less busy.

Cool one today. Jon was with us, which is nice. I was on DTNS yesterday. We talked CFL football. During the podcast I received a CFL hat! Here’s a pic of the hat. Wasn’t super busy today. It’s nice that there is so much ‘ethnic’ food in the store.

Quick one today. Jon was out with his buddy Ty, so no Jon with us today. That also means no Jon sneaking up on me and causing jump scares in the grocery store. Still, I like when he comes… As usual Isabelle has a lot going on. I have a bit less

Shopping! Halloween was fun. Jon handed out candy as Dale Gribble. Oh yeah, back to Saturday. We also donated some old clothes. Do we still have communal music things?

There was a magnitude 3 earthquake in Sudbury. We have limited earthquake experience. Friday? Yeah, we all have busy Saturdays. Isabelle has met some new artists. Just say no to Adobe. Jon came along, which is always great.

Halfway through the term I mean. Yup, break week is ending. We had a nice Thanksgiving. The weather today is however not nice. Jon came along! Isabelle tears down a show today.

It’s like 28 degrees with a humidex of 34. So yeah, October… Isabelle had a very successful art happening. Friends are important. Jon didn’t come today. Isabelle makes ink with plants. I think I know my schedule. The term is half over!

Things are sort of normal. I’m a couple of weeks into my term. Isabelle has a show on in her gallery. Jon came to a social thing at the U for psych students. It’s all just fine. Everything is fine. I also got some weed trimmer line at Canadian Tire!

I suppose that’s better than rambling fallings. Went to the library today. Jon came as well. The term hs started. Isabelle is figuring out art things. In other words, it’s another week :-)

We’re back! Jon’s is out hiking with a friend. Jon now has a personal trainer! We had friends over for dinner, it was nice. Last long weekend of the year, but it was not that busy at the store oddly enough. The next time you hear us I will have taught a class….

Back at it. Jon came today, I always appreciate the company. Thunderstorm warning in effect! We went to a concert, it was fun. Jon didn’t go… Isabelle has a new logo for her Galerie. Oh and the logo was designed by a local person, so that’s super.

Boiling indeed, there’s a heat warning today. Oh thanks for the nice words about our podcasting anniversary! Follow Isabelle’s gallery on instagram. Did I mention how hot it is? My vacation is over, but I feel good! Isabelle is going to make more paper. I won’t be… I got new tires and tubes for my bike. I know you don’t care, but I do

We started Broca’s Area twenty years ago today with our first episode. So, the first half off this one is our standard grocery bit. The second part is at home, talking about our 20 years doing this. Oh and Jon was around too! We went to Montreal. We came back. It was long. It was good. See you in another 20 years…

We’re back. Even an LCBO trip today! I found out what artist trading cards are. Does anyone have an Isabelle rookie card? Pretty warm today. Hey I’m on holidays!
