The question references a line from Romeo & Juliet, which is really a question of why Romeo is Romeo, but nits aside, I am on a train, in Boston, going to a bar on my way home.

Not exactly. In R & J, the line was "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" Wherefore meant essentially "Why" - camarillobrillo simply asked "where art thou?" not wherefore. But you are probably looking at this on your small screen where reading is significantly compromised.

Fun fact: a Dutch synonym for why is waarvoor. Linguistics! So much fun.

No, exactly. I pointed out that the question references r&j, not that op used the line :)

I really love you both for this conversation right now. Thank you.

You're both right. Where you are is why you are.
