To Pack or Not to Pack: That is the Question:

Whether 'tis wiser to pack for the heat or cold
The pendulum of unknown weather awaits…
Or to prepare for the extremes on either end
And ultimately completely over pack?


And so I attempt to finish the beginning...



This shirt, or that shirt? Or neither...and instead take a long-sleeve shirt. It's definitely weird packing for someplace where it's summer and there's ___ inches of snow outside (we had ~4" or 5" two days ago, and more is falling now...).

Everything is copied, and hopefully in the general area so as not to be forgotten. But there remains music to be downloaded and other books to be transported from the living room to the packing arena. There are still decisions to be made, especially if everything does not fit...which leads me to the question...To pack or not to pack: that is the question.

"'But that’s not the way of it with the tales that really mattered, or the ones that stay in the mind. Folk seem to have just landed in them, usually - their paths were laid that way, as you put it. But I expect they had lots of chances, like us, of turning back, only they didn’t. And if they had, we shouldn’t know, because they’d have been forgotten. We hear about those as just went on - and not all to a good end, mind you; at least not to what folk inside a story and not outside it call a good end.'"
