Busy weekend. We’ve been packing up, getting ready to move to a new home. No, we’re not leaving our beloved Alameda: the new place is just a few blocks away. Packing is exhausting but also contemplative, it affords an opportunity to take stock of yourself and your past, through your stuff. And it’s also an opportunity for catharsis. As an acquaintance once said to me, “four moves is as good as a fire.”
