a different sort of lust

wanderlust - n. very strong or irresistible impulse to travel

I'm slated stateside starting August 30th, but I'll not quite stay put. Forty five days is just enough to collect a couple stamps in my passport, a few cases of jet lag, and some airline stubs. In addition to my hometown of Cincinnati, I'm looking forward to Lexington, Chicago, Washington DC, and Taipei.

Want to see me? Call me. Or, wander yourself and meet me there.

To say I suffer from wanderlust would mischaracterize the word. Sure, it's irresistible and just beyond my control, but the symptoms are adventure and renewal and shift. If there is a cure, I hope it never finds me.

Ellen -

When will you be in Washington, D.C.? That's relatively close to me (and right next door to where my father now lives). I'd like to see you, if possible.
