Getting It Together

Good day, my friends! I'm 2 weeks into my Toronto time and haven't been up the big tower once. I think I'm going to fix that today.  

I'm settling into a nice routine here, mostly due to so much free time. I worked Tuesday and Friday this week... next week will be busier, but this past week was pretty, as they say, KUSH...  even on my work days my pickup times have been noonish. So I've been getting up early, going down to the gym, working out of the Peloton, and then back in my room I've started a new meditation practice that I'm excited about... here's a link to it...  Then I shower reply to emails, and get some work done. 

It's been nice using this time away and sequestered in the hotel to work on my health, and my mental health and get more productive and organized. I was sucked into a youtube hole on organizing and productivity which led me to some pretty helpful videos about managing calendars and using notes and to-do lists... but it also sent me into a weird area I had no idea existed: Professional Exel Competitions!  

What the hell! Anyway, do you have any tips and tricks for staying organized? I've got a lot to keep organizing with The Oscar Special, Tim Fest, and some other projects looming, I gotta use my time wisely!  

I watched Sexy Beast on Criterion last night - hadn't seen it in a while and oh man what a movie!  God, it's so darkly funny. What a performance from Sir Ben! 

By the way, the "On The Funny" guys are back recapping and discussing Season 14 of On Cinema... Taking it episode by episode and it's pretty fun to hear their takes! Check it out on your Podcast of Choice!  

Saw the most Canadian thing of all time the other night and will try and recap in prose but may need a performance to do it justice: 

We were walking back from dinner the other night and passed a man who looked a bit like Doug Mackenzie approach two Asian college kids. He said urgently: "You know the Leafs score?"   They shrugged and politely laughed, and in very broken English said "No, no I don't know..."  He looked at them desperately,  incredulously asked "You don't follow The LEAFS??!!" 

That's it. We kept walking but we all heard it (Jeremy, Rajat and Alyssa) looking back to confirm it really happened. We kept reenacting it, marveling at how weird and wonderful it was!  A fun bonus of temporarily living downtown in a real city: just watching and listening to people! 

OK then... Off to the tower! 

P&L, T
