I'm away on conference for a week, but its all tediously commercial-in-confidence.
Here is a guessing game: where am I?
More useful clues tomorrow.
[Update: its a 5-star hotel, but not with this level of service. Where is JA?]
The post title comes from my run last night. I only ever seem to run when abroad at conference, which means, not very often. But I'm now a bit fitter with my half hour cycle to and fro work so running is easier. 10km yesterday, by my estimate, along the embankment then up the long side of the island, paced by an enormous river barge with two Willi Betz trucks looking rather small on it. I was going just fractionally faster than it, and by the end had just about got as far as its bows.

I carry some of my gear to and from the lunchtime basketball game in a red and white canvas-and-mesh bag. The zipper doesn't work, and hasn't for years, and the logo on the side is almost worn off, but if you look closely, you can still make out the New York State Public High School Athletic…
I'm back...and semi-dug out. Minnow and I survived the conference, though not unscathed. There was an unfortunate incident in which Minnow tumbled off the hotel bed and ended up with a carpet imprint on her forehead. But otherwise, it was a successful conference. That said, I don't recommend…
We often drive on a stretch of Minnesota State Route 10 that runs from Elk River to Big Lake and eventually to a point past Saint Cloud that takes about an hour to drive on a normal day, and we see trains. The railroad track runs along this route, and during the hour it takes to drive it, we never…
You make it WAY too easy.
You're at the Intercontinental Hotel in Budapest.
[Very good, I'm impressed. Unless you've been cheating by looking at flickr, of course -W]
I did look at flickr -- there wasn't any indication that it was cheating.
[Well of course it was cheating -W]
Where is JA?
Swimming!
