Thank you.

Time claustrophobia can also play out over a longer time period.

For example, one of the great things about the trip we took to Berlin in the summer of 2011 was that we stayed long enough so that, in the middle of the trip, we were far enough from both the start of our stay and the end, that we were free of time claustrophobia. In other words, in an idyll where the impending departure back to our everyday reality hadn’t yet hit “4:00 p.m. Sobeys shift coming up” status yet.

I wonder if we talked about this in a Live from the Formosa Tea House episode; it seems likely. We’ll have to order transcripts.
