Isolationism

Placing phone calls today, I learned that Bobert and Danana are out of town, adding them to the ranks of other out-of-towners, including LC, Ryan, and Eire (formerly "Eek" but I'm angling for a better nickname). The latter three have left the country, Eire to Spain; LC and Ryan to another Spanish-speaking country that shall remain nameless, lest I forbid to Ryan the right to make up shit later on about where he's been.

I haven't been out of the country since 2003. Chile and some brief stays in Argentina, total of a about six months. And suddenly everyone's taking off without me to foreign climes.

Admittedly, I had the chance to go on either one of these trips, and for various reasons I could not. Still: I need to travel and soon.

Maybe Eire's proposed jaunt to Canada to get a stamp for my new passport (arrived!) will pan out in the new year. Never been to the Great White North.
