Getaway day

Anticipation is a double-edged sword. You can be giddy, excited about the adventure that awaits. Or, in your giddiness, you can wake up an hour earlier than you want, leaving you groggy for your train trip later today. The later has happened to me. I love to travel, but this early-wake-up jazz stinks. I'm stepping away from my locale, and this corner, for a little while. My eyes need to see another environment. I should be here back tomorrow night.

And no, I haven't packed yet.
