I travelled to Munich today for a very important meeting about my company. Due to the strike of the strike of the railroad workers in Austria, I traversed a tiny part of Austria by bus, curtesy of swiss railroads. Unfortunately that prolonged the trip by 45 minutes. In the afternoon preparations for the meeting that took place at 6. A quick coffee with an old friend in a Biergarten, and then almost 4 hours of meetings with shareholders and investors. ...
