TravelerThe look on your faces yesterday. The attitudes you were both carrying about your upcoming journey. It all reminded me of the Talking Heads. “And you may find yourself in another part of the world… And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife And you may ask yourself, well how did I get here?” You are both living proof that life is so wonderfully unpredictable.
