“I didn’t have my pre-game quesadilla today. I think if I’d had that, it would have been a home run." #BlueJays

The Liberals, who have yet to elect a leader, are now at 38% while Doug Ford’s party has fallen to 36% according to a Liaison Strategies poll.
This is part of a trend in polls. (338 graphic)

Had the back patio redone last week.
Four guys showed up at 8:15.
At 8:30 I went outside and asked if they had five minutes for a quick standup.
The foreman said "a what."
I said "a standup. Quick sync. Five minutes. What did you do yesterday. What are you doing today. Any blockers."
He said "we just got here."
I said "right so no blockers. Great. Let's reconvene at noon."
He looked at his crew. His crew looked at the ground.
At noon I went back outside. Asked for a status update.
He said "we're on track."
I said "on track relative to what baseline."
He said "the plan."
I said "is the plan documented somewhere."
He pointed at the patio.
Fair enough.
My wife came outside around 2 PM.
She said "have you been out here all day."
I said "I've been providing board-level oversight."
She said "you've been sitting in a lawn chair watching four men work."
I said "that's what board-level oversight is."
She went inside.
They finished Thursday. One day ahead of schedule.
The foreman shook my hand at the door and said "good working with you."
I said "likewise. I'll send over a post-mortem."
He said "please don't."

They willingly went to a game between the Chicago White Sox and Washington Nationals on their wedding day? A thousand nations couldn’t break their bond, I wish them good health and endless prosperity for all their days
