One of the things I don't get enough of on my business trips to Saint John is exercise. Not that there aren't opportunities, what with a gym and pool in the hotel, and an enclosed mall connected to both office and hotel. It's just that the days tend to be very full and I end them collapsed in the hotel room and devoid of initiative. And don't try to tell me I should work out in the mornings -- that's just crazy talk, to quote my partner in sloth. So I decided to combine a reward for a long working week away from home with a new tech toy AND an exercise enabler. My new BOSE SoundDock arrived this morning. It is fed endless tunes by my original iPod, which had been abandoned for months because it couldn't hold a battery charge long enough to be even slightly useful. No longer a problem because this speaker system charges as it plays. Can't stop dancin'!
