Each of the Five Guys is at this point pretty well established in adulthood. Some of us are raising families, others are focused on delusions of building empires. I myself have a pretty cool job that many people would love to have. It allows me to set my own hours, earn potentially uncapped bonuses, and travel to some cool places. So, yeah, I got no worries on that front. But sometimes, maybe two or three times a year, I just completely glaze over. In college I referred to this as “Spring Fever” but as I advance in years I realize that I am gripped by the most insatiable case of Wanderlust imaginable. When this gets a hold of me occupational and domestic concerns have no bearing on my reality and the most important thing in my world is the view from my office window, the water in the distance and the hazy skyline on the other side, and beyond that…the horizon and the unknown. It is on days and weeks such as this when I would love nothing more than to get in the car and just drive until such point that I found some place that compelled me to stop. Eventually the curtain of reality falls on this little fantasy in the form of a ringing phone or an Outlook reminder popping up to remind me of a meeting. But for right now, until that phone rings, I am embracing the hell out of that Far Away Gaze and enjoying the adventure in my mind.
