In this podcast we discuss the 100 day project that we all attempted and but only some completed! We discuss what we like about the project, what the challenges were, and how we might use it to further our other creative pursuits. We also hear a bit about Erin’s world travels and how she incorporated the 100 day project into her trip. We had some technical difficulties towards the end, so our quiz was not recorded đ However, you can see what quiz we took and our results below in the show notes. We’re still learning!
What We’re Into:
Carly: Ben Rector album “Magic” & “The Bible Binge” podcast
Erin: Her new car

Poem 10/100
âLa Catastropheâ
Bonjour Pierre. Ăa va? Moi? Je suis dĂ©solĂ©! So so dĂ©solĂ©. How do I say…? Before the fall I thought âWhat a lovely bowl!â Avec une fleur de couleur pĂȘche And the question âWhere does it come from?â barely skimmed my consciousness. But then le bol slipped from the shelf Dans la cuisine. Câest mort! The bowl is dead, At my hand. So I beg you, sâil vous plaĂźt, tell me it was purchased In everyoneâs favorite French store TargĂ©t Pour douze euros. And that it was not a prized possession of Votre grande-mĂšre.
Poem 44/100
âYesterdayâs conversationsâ
âThree minutes pastâ magic words, spoken to the wind A man appears across the tracks From around the bend âMadame?â He says something about a train. âOui, I wait for the train…â He gestures NO, with head and hands âNo train today?â He replies with words I donât understand âPardon, Je ne comprends pasâ again he takes great pains To gesture NO âNo trains?â âNo trains.â We both wait to see if more information Will be sought or given He turns to leave Followed by my weak âmerciâ And so, I search âHotels near meâ And prices are good This far from the sea With bags on back and in tow I roll down the same road I left behind an hour ago
The woman is unprepared for me At this hour Resting between petit dejeuner And the first check-ins of the day âBonjour, Do you have any vacancy?â I smile at her enthusiastic âOui!â âDo you know, why there are no trains?â âOh, is it the strike?â âI donât know.â âHow many nights would you like?â âI donât know. Will they strike tomorrow?â âI donât know. But I will check for you.â âMerci, Merci beaucoup!â âNo problem.â And a pause âno trains.â âTomorrow?â âTomorrow, no trains. Maybe a bus!â âIs there a bus station?â âThey leave from the train station. Sometimes.â âSometimes?â âSometimes.â Her grimace is kind âIâll stay two nights.â
