LANDING SOFTLY

I realized recently that many in my community of friends are weary jet setters who are so used to the transient life that they are having a hard time "landing." In one humourous conversation with two of my friends who'd just returned to Canada, one of them said she had a hard time grasping the idea that she had just signed up for a 3 year phone contract. My other friend piped in and said, "Yeah, I just signed a four year car lease!" I looked at both of them and said, "I know. I just got married."
