not all there

Ben's mom has a quote up this week that says something I've been meaning to say, but haven't found words for, exactly:

Traveling carries with it the curse of being at home everywhere and yet nowhere, for wherever one is some part of oneself remains on another continent.

--Margot Fonteyn

I think I learned it first from my mom, then from Bilbo, and then from experience. But it's always nice to hear it again.

Having another excuse for being distracted and scatterbrained doesn't hurt, either.

wow! that quote completely sums up, more eloquently than I ever could, exactly what I'm feeling. I think I may borrow it for my facebook. I hope you enjoy random comments...I feel kinda dumb :)
