1. A plugged toilet is a patient thing. It will wait for you to return, even if it is eleven days. At that point it will lose it’s patience and become very demanding. No matter how tired you are, you will be forced into submission.
2. If you are walking two miles from the airport to your apartment at 1:00 a.m., with a suitcase slung over your shoulder and a laptop backpack strapped to your back, the only open drive-through will not serve you food, no matter how loudly your stomach is growling. The sign next to the sliding window clearly states that I am more dangerous as a walking man then a driving man. I tend to disagree.
3. The best place in the world seems to be one’s own bed. Trips serve as gentle reminders.
4. Work can always wait, but shares certain traits with a plugged toilet.
5. It’s good to be home.
