- For the first time in a long time I travelled light. All I took with me on my 2-day trip to Windsor was my backpack.
- On the way from Detroit to Windsor, there was a sign: “Do not follow your GPS. Follow signs for bridge to Canada.”
- Months and months ago, I systematized some things. All at once, it seems like things are coming together, and my work this month is made easy by all the serendipitous planning.
- I had difficulty crossing both borders. The Canadian border was surprisingly difficult to cross. At the US border, the guard tapped the car looking for hidden panels.
- The view from my hotel room in Windsor was pretty at night. 10th floor. View across the river to the lights of downtown Detroit (and Christmas lights on trees).
- In case I haven’t mentioned it already, I enjoy business travel without the business suit.
- Annoying travel event: Sitting next to an ultra-fidgety (presumed to be based on luggage adornment and figure) Victoria Secret model on my flight home yesterday. Thankfully she didn’t have enough body mass to shake the row of seats much.

Given the timing, you were sitting next to a booth babe from the auto show.
That sign is awesome.
It feels like a very asymmetric journey… you drive on a lot of little roads to get into Canada, but driving back to the US is pretty direct.
