This mess we're in

My life is currently in a state of upheaval and recovery:

• Quit my job due to personal issues (thanks Mediabolic, it was fun!)
  
• Finished a whirlwind rehearsal week for KT's performance at Mr Smiths. (Flickr pics to come)
• Came back from a hectic and dramatic trip in Boston / NYC (thanks Will, Andinh, Helene, Scott, Liz for coming out)

I always feel a bit overwhelmed with a rapid succession of exciting events, but let me tell you, leaving California certainly helped. Frankly, even leaving SF every once in a while is certainly nice. Every so often I get a case of "San Francisco fatigue" and it's often cured by a good geographic upheaval. I usually like to cure it with a dose of Berkeley or Sacramento. More extreme cases require a good dose of NYC or Chicacgo. Leaving the whole country would be nice as well ... any suggestions?

While thinking about why this may be, neuroscience came up in the though process as it sometimes does. Perhaps I'm getting some kind of "neural fatigue" from being in the same place and around the same people. Maybe it can be attributed to a desire to get some kind of new stimulus by exciting some often dormant neurons.
