Going 2nd-Home

September 26

I’m off to Egypt for 2 weeks...it’s taken remarkably little to prepare for the trip, seeing as we’re really going home, or at least, to a home. Our apartment is just as we left it, full of the clothing, furniture and books we didn’t take with us. We know where everything in our neighborhood is and how it all works. It’s an odd feeling to be so grounded in two different continents--in one sense I can never go home, and in another I can never leave home.

There’s your philosophical nugget for the day.

Eid Mubarak to those of you celebrating Eid ul-Fitr, and Shana Tova to those of you celebrating Rosh Hashana.
