MrB and I are currently in Vienna, attending the Global Editors Network Summit on media innovation<\/a>. My No. 1 goal while here is to re-enact a photo from our last visit here, many years ago. This was probably taken in 1999 or 2000.<\/p>\n

I, of course, was the immature individual who decided the sign looked a little like it said “Dumbass Street” and forced MrB to pose there.

Obviously, I kept the necklace! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
