What I think about when I'm bored
On airport shuttle bus I overhead a conversation. I don't like it. I'm not any good at it.
I don't remember what "it" was. Maybe bowling or Soduko or something.
It got me thinking about the relationship between what you like to do and what you are good at.
There aren't many people who don't like orienteering but are good at it. On the other hand, there seem to be a lot of people (more than I'd have expected) who like orienteering but who aren't good at it.
Can't stop mapping
I'm in a strange town. I'm staying in a hotel. I was hungry. I decided to go for a walk and see if I could find anything to eat. As I was walking around, I realized I was mentally mapping. I'd see a wall and without thinking about it, imagine how it would look on a sprint map.
