Apogee

Every now and again, I think about moving back to Quincy. Not immeadiately, but later in life.

To steal an anology from my friend Luke, I want to end up back at The Shire. I'm certainly in my trek across Middle Earth. Always fighting ring wraiths, or giant spiders, or Balrogs.

Unlike my friends Sam and Frodo, I have not ultimate goal. I have no event that's going to make me say "That's it. I'm done. Time to go home." There is no ring to destroy, only lands to traverse and people to meet. That makes me an uncommon Hobbit. I guess I'm more like Bilbo.

The reason I think about living in my hometown is because I love the easy-going pace. I like the familiarity. I love the mix of aborial and urban. I love knowing where everything is. Everything I don't like about the big city.

Who knows what will happen, it's just something I've always been thinking about.
