J1 goes on a road trip with his friend to a destination 300 miles away. almost three decades ago, my longest non-family trip involved a brief ferry ride to an off-shore island with some classmates.
is it a cultural exposure thing? or a generational thing? or perhaps temperamental? my children seem to have loftier hopes more momentous plans and vaster dreams than i ever did.
i expend much energy wondering how my firstborn will be ready to take his place. it reassures me somewhat to reflect that in some ways he is more ready than i was at his age. and look where i am today.
