GETTING READY TO SAY GOODBYE
We continue to pack, I'd say we are 80% done (and have about 3 weeks to go, july 25th). Boxes tower over us. The sale continues with little hiccups and this and that (I want it over, to be house hunting will be a relief compared to this). My books and dvds are packed, but the art (pictures, paintings, etching, water colors . . .) is left to pack (wrapped in bubble wrap then in boxes). A hot wave, not like yours -HUMIDITY, is anticipated. As biblical Floods and fires cover the country - - in a bad for Karma way I'lll point out the worst are in Red States. So, the countdown to moving continues. Just in time, they are renovating the exterior of the building -- a harder sale (or easier: see how well maintained it is?). I want to physically hug a tree in my own yard. I'll mapquest the route to the nearest psychiatric ward later (downtown akron, I know . . . .). I had a freelance request this week, well two of them of the same person: Are people wearing under garments - trends; and Celebrities on Reality TV - I await the hybrid question. Someone pitching stories to SLATE.COM.
