A moving experience.

This upcoming move has gotten me very stressed because I'm the one who does most of the packing. No slam at kshandra here, I'm just better at this sort of thing. I don't mind, I'm happy to be able to help.

But this time we are moving a lot of junk. Not just our bed set and few boxes, but four rooms worth of stuff. It has become overwhelming to the point where even when I relax, I find myself looking at things and trying figure out if we are keeping it and where I can pack it.

So, I've changed my tactics. I'm doing one room at a time, and not stopping until I've made that room look like a plague of furniture and book loving locusts have hit it. First up, the office. So far, so good. The only thing I'm leaving to Kiri is the pile of papers on the desk.

(no subject)

I have collection of old newspapers and magazines from various
historic events.. some are from my life, so I don't even remember;
others date from before I was born.

One of these is the San Jose News from July 21st, 1969.. some of you
may recall that date? Alongside all the coverage of the Moon landing,
I found the tiny sports section. In it, is this coverage of a Giants
Dodgers game:

( Aside from landing on the Moon, today in history.. )

Kind of fun, hm? I got a laugh when they described Bonds being
walked... I think we've all seen enough of that, haven't we? :) It's
also interesting to think that our Bonds was a few days shy of five
when this game happened.. and just learning to bat from Dad and his
Godfather.
