Tonight at the Canadian Animal Health Institute Awards dinner it was set up as a progressive dinner. I’ve never been on one of these but it’s a cool idea.
Basically every table is numbered and at your first seat you receive a card which tells you which table you go to next and then you rotate to one more. They’re spread out at random so you wind up at a table with totally different people each time.
So we started out with soup and salad at table one, main course at table two and dessert at table three. At tables of 8 that means you get to meat at least 21 different people.

The weather held out for a start and a pretty good race up to lap 113 which means it’s an official race.
The big story here in Indianapolis this morning has been the weather. It’s lightly raining now and the trucks are running the track to try to keep as much water off it as possible. You can’t race on a wet track.
I think this is an agricultural story since this man is holding something that contains ethanol and fruit juice. That works right?
