As the youngest in a
family of
packrats, (we prefer
collectors) I've gathered a rather
prodigal amount of furniture that I'm rather attached to.
Now the problem of a 2200 mile move waits ahead of me. It can't all come. In fact, nothing over the size of a
lamp can come, due to
gross tonnage laws - I drive a
small sports car that I wouldn't trust attaching a
trailer too.
What does one do when faced with such a conundrum? Throw it all away? Donate to
Salvation Army?
I think not.
I shall, in the time-held
tradition of countless other 20 somethings, cart it all back to the parental
homestead, lovingly pack it all away in the cellar, where my beloved pieces of
furniture will await my eventual return.
Except for this chair, it's getting strapped to the hood.
