I sometimes am overcome with an urge to be somewhere other than where I am, but not necessarily where I came from. I used to get this urge when I would go to the docks and see a ship going somewhere. I'd want to leave the keys in the ignition (or toss them in the harbor, either way was fine), hop the ship, and go wherever they were headed. Now that I go to the docks six days a week those urges don't occur so often.
