I just have an addictive personality

I'm curious about this. I've watched some interesting lectures about addiction, and I think we all have a lot to learn about it. Some think it's chemical based, but it does seem to be related to wanting to escape one reality and over-indulge in another. I also wonder if we'll ever understand the brain enough to really pinpoint how different brains may respond differently to pleasure and stimulation. All super interesting stuff.

I'm enjoying connecting wth you as well, Dan. I plan to travel much more in the future, hopefully with my family as well. Part of me, I realize, is scared of the unknown, scared of instability and uncertainty of travel... but I'm looking forward to it just the same. I enjoy your posts as part of that process.
