packing

I have way too much cr@p coming home than I did going out.? I think I understand why the post office has a booth at SXSW.? Unless I can be clever, then I may be visiting it myself.

the bulk of it at this point is all the wrong clothes that I brought…which didn’t seem like too many originally, but now is more than I want to deal with.

the excess of clothes is forcing me to judge very carefully what other things I bring back.? which may, in fact, be a good thing.

normally I would save things for their memory/nostalgia value — when I say “things” I mean bits of paper.? but I don’t want to be weighed down going home, so I’m tossing almost everything, including the big-ass directory, the nice little map of downtown, a handful of bus day passes.

(for motivation I have to thank Ralph for that conversation we had in the hall about pack-rats.? sometimes you have to hear that sort of thing from someone that you aren’t related to, and you don’t live with.)
