Spittin’ and grinnin’

Thankfully, the Toronto Blue Jays season has ended. Their 74 wins against 88 losses was their worst record since 2019 when they finished with 67 wins and 75 losses.
They were a miserable team to watch this season. Too many ups and many downs, all played with sad sack faces.

Quotes by Jim Poling Sr. (?)

“Each outing in a canoe is a journey of self-discovery. What person paddling across reflections in morning waters does not see the inner self? The serenity of canoeing strips us of all but the essentials and encourages us to consider our place in the universe. Mind clutter drains away, like water dripping from a paddle blade, and makes space for clarity of thought.”
― Jim Poling Sr., The Canoe: An Illustrated History
