I HATE moving.   It doesn't matter that this is a relatively small move, because i've been traveling light for the last two years (since i only ever expected to stay in WMass for 5 months).   It's still a pain.   So much flotsam and jetsam that reminds me of how much junk i accumulate and how little of it matters.   Arrrgh.... life is fleeting and ( Read more... )
