Yep, here I am in a very sunny Toronto and I’m cooped up in my room tippety-tapping on the key­board (albeit a nice shiny key­board now that I’ve cleaned it).

The main prob­lem with busi­ness travel is not the meet­ings and the end­less taxi rides to and from air­ports and hotels. For me, it’s the bits in between. The hours that seem to stretch on and on when you’ve done all your prep work for the next day and the post-meeting notes and all you have to look for­ward to is the mind-numbing banal­ity of the hotel tele­vi­sion chan­nels and the over­whelm­ing feel­ing of loneliness.

So, munch­ing on the free turn-down ser­vice chocol­ates and the cof­fee from the in-room machine, I sit here effect­ively talk­ing to myself in an attempt to keep sane until the next fleet­ing human contact.

Any­one know any good restaurants?
