Conversations of the journey

are rewarding when the travelling is in convivial circumstances - in this case a very uncrowded suburban train in Auckland and the venue created by the Australia - New Zealand Systems Society (ANZSYS) conference. It is even more convivial when one is among those who appreciate, and contribute to common concerns and who share similar intellectual lineages. The special case is when the conversation triggers mutual enthusiasm as it did with my (now) colleagues here!! (My thanks to Jack M for the photo).
