[[Some poor person will have to clear all of this stuff out someday, and I\'d prefer not to have them standing there marveling over the uselessness of my personal effects. What will they say about that bizarre group of half a dozen boxes from the last move whose tape has remained intact and undisturbed for nearly two years?]]

You\'re pretty weird.

Hi Nancy!
Welcome to the Blogsphere. I found your blog linked on your Veganica site which was linked on Scott's.
Happy New Year and Congratulations on being a new homeowner. So exciting and daunting. As soon as I got back from Block Island last year, I had to plan my 40th birthday bash from scratch for that coming Friday and then found an apartment in Manhattan on my birthday. One thing after another. But I went through the same process of sifting through my history as I was packing and trashing to move. So many memento of friends. Some long gone and out of touch. I tried Googling but couldn't find them. And some that I just had dinner with the night before. That made me realize that I do not want to be a museum keeper of my history. But I want to live in the present and not be a collector. Very difficult for a designer to not collect objects of possible sentimental significance. Take a digital photo, it'll last longer and take up less space.
But I'm trying to keep my new place spare. Very difficult but so rewarding to be uncluttered. So great to feel light. Anyways, I just wanted to say welcome and I can't wait to see you again. Scott keeps threatening that you're both going to visit me. I'm still waiting.
Later, Henry
