tripping

who doesn't like to take a trip? well, a lot of people, actually. i am not one of those people. i like to take trips. short trips, long trips, car trips, bus trips. if you are going to the gas station, i would like to ride along. if you are going to paris, will you take me? most days, i enjoy the commute to and from work, especially if i can take a different route. backroads! i enjoy riding in planes, trains, and automobiles. i enjoy public transportation and private transportation. i like to ride my bicycle to the library. i like to walk around the block. i like to consider my packing and what i will need or want, what i will bring. i enjoy packing, the act of putting stuff into a bag. i like that commercial where the guy throws a dart at a map or maybe he spins the globe and puts his finger on it? he's got this great leather satchel with his stuff in it, and he's going on a trip! it could be an airline commercial or maybe a cologne commercial. can't remember. but... to pack a bag, throw a dart at the map, and take off? that would be grand.
