Dave Brodbeck and Isabelle Michaud

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 muchEnjoy 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!

The title? It is a list of things I hate. I hate these things because today is the weekend before Canada Day and the grocery store was a mad house. We visited London. We saw Maddie! I had my 60th birthday, so I am now elderly. Jon did not change the list this week..

A day late. You can decide if it is a dollar short. Isabelle was in Sudbury. Jon came with us. Very nice day today if windy. Also sort of short today.

Let the circle, be unbroken. Nice day, but very windy, likely no cycling today. They moved everything in the store and it is very annoying. Jon stayed home to watch the F1 qualifying. Went to a cool thing at the museum. Garage sales are a scourge on humanity.

I forgot to charge the phone I use to record last week. Wind. The constant is wind. Isabelle is off to an art swap today. I had to do it solo for like 2 minutes, it wasn't good…. No Jon this week. Isabelle has been working in the garden. I've been trying to cycle in this wind….

The title has literally nothing to do with the episode. Well maybe a very little. Mother's Day tomorrow. Jon came, which is always nice. Seems like a decent day, mid teens temperature wise. Isabelle is going on a walk for Mother's Day. I'm cooking stuff for Mother's Day. Isabelle might be going to the Robertson Cliffs.

Jon came this week! THE TERM IS OVER. THE SHOW IS OVER AT ISABELLE'S GALLERY! So we're both in good spirits. I'm getting my bike out today! Oddly, no election talk. We saw a plane! Oh, one pic is the plane, the other is plastic making.

This one is not about animal behaviour. I mean really, are any of our episodes ever about anything? THE TERM IS OVER. The show at Isabelle's gallery is winding down. The snow is gone. Might get my bike out soon!

This week's title works on two levels. The stuff Isa is doing for an art project (which.sounds super cool) and the fact that the melting snow has a sculpture like effect, it's kind of cool. Speaking of cool, it's cool, but above freezing, so lots of melting. I'm still mad about the USA. I gave an exam on Monday. I have another on Friday. We voted.

Yup it's been a while. I was away at a conference two weeks ago, and last week I lost my voice. Of course many of you are saying ‘Oh Dave lost his voice, on hon, anyway…' The term is winding down. Jon came again, he's always super helpful. Isabelle's student presented their work. This city is full of micro climates.

Shopping! Isabelle has been busy, of course. Tim Horton's, it's Canadian, sorta. It's Jon's birthday! Happy 24th Jonno! I did self checkout today, not a fan. Why is it winter again?

It's been a while. Isabelle was away, she's back. Hey, Jonno came along! Isa has a workshop tonight on grant writing. It's warming up, spring soon? Now whey, whey.
