Do you move up and down the river all year, or do you move only in the warm months. If you move, how far do you move. How about down south to Cincinnati.

I find now that I'm starting my life over again at nearly 40! Clean slate...but the question is, should I struggle once again to build that typical success story, or chart a new path. I'm considering many options, researching alternatives. One thing that is certain, I believe I want to downsize my "expectations" at least materialistically, and focus more on enjoying living.

I think the down side of everyone trying to be caged (Get married, have babies, die.) Is that since its all most people know, they can understand nothing outside that. Because my mom went to college, got married, had babies, that's what I am suppose to do. Perhaps a 6 month adventure living free of whatever is a nice wake up call for some people. Still working on my dream of freedom. Rainbow To Greg,

That's why they are willingly start their own mobile life trying to hide from themselves and their problems. But they do not understand that it's not a way out but just a new experience... Thinking in terms of "mobile life" helps to get rid of illusions... Most guys really believe that changing the environment will change themselves.

However, I think there are some folks who live the 'caged' life happily and you've left them out. I think it's okay for people to have a life in a suburban town that they are happy with and I think a few of them exist. I also don't think it's for me, since I tried it. I kept up the lawn, I made the downtown commute, and I cleaned leaves out of my gutters four times a year. Well, maybe I missed a couple of seasons, but that's because I don't fit here. I'd much rather be hanging upside down trying to pull a v-drive. Sail on! I’m of the Pink Floyd mindset as well; at least with regards to my high level of omphaloskepsis.
