Crisis simulation

After spending six hours in an oxygen-starved conference room, the annual crisis simulation with my organizational communication class is over, and I am let out into the brilliant spring sunshine. Walking to the station, I can look back on three beautiful days in Halland that have included a hike with Johanna to the old salt mill in Svalilt, intense academic discussions, and a dinner worthy of the most incorrigible foxes, accompanied by the Nespolino Sangiovese Merlot blend that I discovered during my last visit to Pontus.

Tomorrow, Eddie and I will take another train across Sweden to see my parents for the first time since December, and I hope to squeeze in a run around Stensö, as the forecast promises endless sunshine. As for forecasts and weather, California is currently experiencing a massive heat wave, with inland temperatures already climbing above 40 degrees – something that does not normally happen until May. Hopefully, it will cool off in time for the Silverado mountain trail race on 4 April. If not, I may be in for another heat-induced race cancellation, like the one in Portugal back in 2023.
