Moving Sucks!

Why is it that people love to hang on to all their junk? Why can't we survive with whatever we can carry on our backs (60lbs or less)? We are such hoarders! I used to be able to wheel all of my possessions around Madison in a couple of pickup truck loads! Now, it's a multi-day ordeal that requires help, a moving truck over 15ft in length, and steriods (I must admit that we were moving 3 people's things). We began our exodus of Sacramento on Tuesday, and seem to be comfortable 3 days later! Whew!

As I tried to figure out if there's something wrong with me, I learned of a possible disorder called compulsive hoarding. Are you diagnosable pack rat? Thankfully, I think I'm in the clear. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsive_hoarding

The good news is that the move is over! I now live in Walnut Creek, CA, with my two great roomies, Jessica and Becky. The location is a great improvement over the last spot, as great as it was. Now we're closer to downtown amenities, within range of the SF BART System, and are much closer to an international airport (something essential when most of your family is a plane ride away). I'm pumped! It's time to begin the exploration of my new stomping grounds as soon as I fix the flat on my bike...
