Homeward Bound

A common thread in conversations today was how people always seem to return home when life throws then a curve ball. We started wondering why this is.

Folks who leave their home town usually do so in search of something they're not finding where they've grown up.

So if after leaving plans go awry, why return to the place that had nothing to offer?

Is it because when viewed from the outside the appeal can be seen? Sort of like not seeing the forest for the trees.

Or is it because nature kicks in and the struggling member of the family is suddenly overwhelmed by the need to return to the nest?

Ultimately we decided this deserves more study. Maybe we should apply for a grant.
