I arrived in Copenhagen last night for the ALICE (Artificial Life, Intelligence, Complexity and Evolution) workshop. I'm staying in the same hotel I stayed in 18 months ago, for the Artificial Life conference. This time, I asked for a room without a staircase up to the bed, since I did not enjoy descending it (particularly in the middle of the night, in the dark, half asleep). I got a room without a staircase, but still with a slight obstacle course:

| The bathroom door is where I am standing; the bed is up the step and round the corner. |
I arrived last night an hour later than scheduled, as it is windy (and snowy, and cold) in Copenhagen, so my flight was delayed waiting for the one runway still in operation.
The view from my window this morning illustrates the cold.
Most of the snow has been cleared away, leaving a good walking surface, and it is only a 5 minute walk to the venue. I have brought extra layers, a hat, scarf, and gloves. I will survive.
