I'm Just Walkin'...

Sounds like the title of an early Bob Dylan song, but it's the theme of the ongoing journey of an intrepid soul named Matt Green, who has undertaken the Herculean task of walking from Rockaway Beach, Queens, to Rockaway, Oregon.
The endeavor struck a chord with me... that idea of chucking it all and just taking off: no rent, no bills, no office politics. No pressure, clean air.
It all appeals, except for the part about possibly becoming a lurid New York Post headline due to some misadventure.
So I guess I'll live vicariously through Matt's adventure and get my wimpy ass down to the DMV pronto so I can perhaps do the same thing from the (relative) safety of a vehicle, preferably armoured.

Matt- I'm with you all the way. Thanks so much for the sweet email.
