TO WHOM SHALL I SEND THE CHECK?

I had the strongest feeling of wanderlust today. I was thinking about our trip to the Grand Canyon in October. IT was the end of the season, empty, cool, quiet. Me met The McClures... ("Lily" and "Morgan" are the passwords) who were going around the world. Sunsets, high plains, incredible places to explore. I just kept thinking today that I owe so much to so many that the concept of simply up and moving seems next to impossible. And that's ignoring the emotional element entirely. We'd have to leave both of our families, many of out friends, all of our co-workers. So I feel, in one sense, reluctant to leave and in another sense, frustrated at my inability to get up and get! The title of the post... where can I send the check to whomever is controlling my life scheduling? I wouldn't mind taking that job over if you don't mind. I'd like to make the decisions for a while. "Ownership Society" my ass. I'm part of a debtor's society with little but obligations and limits in sight. Soon enough I'll be done with school (again) and there will be a little more freedom, but can I resist the temptation to take a corporate job with dollar signs in my eyes thinking "I'll just work for two years and then all the debt will be paid off and then I'll quit and Kate and I can move to wherever."? I hope so. I'd like to do the things that I want to do first, before I get sucked into a 30 mortgage or a career path toward a desk job, regret, and heart disease. But overall today was a good day.
