45km of cycling

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2017.04.19

My various meetings took me downtown twice and to the Danforth: some 45km of cycling in a day. It's the only way to conduct networking!

Oddly, a bridge across the Don river that has no alternate was blocked for a crew shooting a scene. Not good news when you're on your way to an interview.

rand()m quote

It has always seemed strange to me...The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.

—John Steinbeck, Cannery Row
