Turning 25

I've become obsessed with travel, with maps, with stories of adventure. Some days, I imagine selling everything and buying a car and couch surfing my way across the US. Other days, I imagine opening a bookstore, soup kitchen, bed and breakfast or bar somewhere and staying put for years to come. 


How did the lyrics go? "We gotta make a decision- We leave tonight or live and die this way" 


I've found a sense of urgency lately. Maybe it's getting to be that time again. The longest I've lived my adult life in one town was almost 4 years to the day. On August 27, 2011 I will hit that 4 year mark. Maybe I find myself devouring Paul Theoreaux and Bill Bryson because I want to resist settling. 


Maybe I'm just protesting 25.
