Stand By Me

This is one of the coolest videos...EVER. I watched it in the office and totally got teary-eyed. I think it was the Travel Bug in me coming alive again. ...but not really coming "alive" again so much as just waking up. Like my Travel Bug has been sleeping for awhile...or maybe even hibernating. Now that I think of it, the Travel Bug is kind of like malaria...once you get it, it never really goes away. It just sinks into remission following extended doses of fluorescent lighting and Blackberries and ironed slacks that cover up that cool ankle tattoo. Well, maybe that's not exactly like malaria. Hm. And I guess another pretty big difference would be that long-term effects of the Travel Bug include global adventures and cool stuff like that, not holes in the brain and occasional bed-confining episodes of tropical mosquito-transmitted nastiness. I love my Travel Bug. But malaria...not so much. So apparently the whole malaria/Travel Bug analogy doesn't quite work...except that once you get bit, you're a carrier for life!

I think I'm allergic to fluorescent lighting.
