Porny vs. Non-Porny

One of my favorite non-porny things to do when I'm travelling is to arrive in a new city with no plans at all (outside of the stated purpose of my business trip) and to go find fun. You can define fun all kinds of ways and I find different fun in different cities. Beaches, restaurants, sightseeing, etc. I am very good at having maximum tourist experiences in 5 hours or less from arriving in a new city that even locals would envy. I'm fearless in my rental car. I'll go almost anywhere in any city with just a rental car map and a sense of adventure.

And so it goes this week. I got on the plane with absolutely no plans and no knowledge of the layout of my destination. 1/2 hour after arriving at a new airport in a new city I was checking into my hotel. 1/2 hour after that I was heading straight into the mountains. An hour after that I was seated at an outdoor cafe in a posh ski resort having a great meal and listening to a great folk/bluegrass band play an outdoor concert. Crystal clear evening. Blue skies and a light breeze. Gorgeous scenery. Great food. Great music. Just me.

Sure it's going to be a week of hell for business. But, trust me, I can make my own fun at night. Mostly non-porny.

Although..... 3 hours after my meal I was back in town sitting in a strip club that I've never heard of. But that's another, porny, story for another night.

Tonight I'll just enjoy the memory of my evening in the mountains.
