It Ain't About Geography

"Homesickness is. . . absolutely nothing. Fifty percent of the people in the world are homesick all the time. . . You don't really long for another country. You long for something in yourself that you don't have, or haven't been able to find."
John Cheever, The Stories of John Cheever (1978)

"Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home."
John Howard Payne

When you roll over and see that lovely Aussie Girl that you married, know that you are home...you are both loved by people all over the world, and the force is with you. Missing things is ok too.

Sincerely,
