Road Trip!

Like a great adventurer, I am braving the wilds of this quarter-acre yard.

I want to go everywhere, see everything.

I've gotten to the point where I want to get this trip over with. I wish I could enjoy it more but I guess it's gone on too long.

It was time to get moving again.

When you realize how unhappy you are, and what truly makes you happy, sometimes you take extreme measures.

I had to wonder why this kept happening over and over. Was it my fault? What was I doing wrong?

I turned around, disappointed, to head back down---when suddenly, my phone pinged.

Dangers? Hah! I'm not afraid of thieves and murderers. I'm afraid of bugs.

I can think of worse fates.

I am traveling while aging. Or aging while traveling. Take your pick.
