I am not sure whether this is meant to be aspirational, by frequency, or by the appeal of the place. I’m also not sure what level of granularity to use. So, I will arbitrarily go with the countries (and things that quack like a country) that I’ve most enjoyed traveling in, placed in no particular order: – Taiwan; – Vietnam; – India; – Peru; – United States; – Kenya; – Georgia (Republic of); – Thailand; – Korea; and Kyrgyzstan.

NOTE: This list is not stable, and I hope to add and knock off some in the near future.

I don’t think I have a favorite quote, devoid of context, but as I’ve been thinking about travel at the moment, the following comes to mind:

If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion, and avoid the people, you might better stay home.

James A. Michener

Do you think everything happens for a reason?

No. I do not think everything happens for a reason, but I do think it is beneficial to see the positive in challenging life events. Both approaches serve to keep one from feeling victimized by life, but the latter doesn’t require that one believe in some grand architect twiddling the dials on one’s life events — and isn’t a Panglossian rationalization.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
Keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin

And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'
For the loser now
Might be later to win
For the times they are a changin'

From “The Times They Are a-Changin'” Bob Dylan (1963 – from the eponymously named album.)

Like many, I feel that for such an excellent and powerful book, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has a muddled ending.

Far be it for me to rewrite Twain, but I might’ve done some chopping.
