Hello friends, I haven’t posted in a couple of days so I thought I’d check in. I’ve been doing a lot of cleaning up and tossing out. Right now, I have about 6 full garbage bags of things ready for the dumpster.

I can’t believe how much stuff I’ve accumulated the last 10 years I’ve been living down here in Florida. What’s surprising is that I’ve always been rather diligent on not hording junk, but I guess it’s something that sort of creeps up on you whether you like it or not.

I can’t blame myself too much, however. I’m throwing out a lot of things I’d actually like to take with me. There’s only so much space in my car for the long trip up to Boston. I’m giving a lot of it to the employees here in my condo building, many of whom I’ve become friends with, so at least most of it won’t be wasted.

For my next post, I want to write a book review, and I know exactly which novel I want to do it on. Until next time…
