There's this book that's relevant called The
Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning.
I've heard of that... think I saw a review of it (or an article based somewhat on it) somewhere, as well...
The idea is pretty sensible: you take pity
on your heirs and assigns and do some of their
cleanup work while you have nothing better to
do (they will always have something better to
do). It of course involves getting rid of the
triggers of old memories, which is hard.
idea. If you wanted an outing, you could come to
Bethesda and take home a carload, but I'm not in a
position to tell you what's available. I'll be there
from 6/18 to 23 or so, and you'd be welcome to
pick and choose then, but I make no guarantees about
what you'd like. Let me know within a week if you
want to do this, so I can alert my brother.
That looks like it might actually be workable... especially if the Shipp Hostel can take in another waif... ;) I might take the opportunity to
visit my aunt in Annapolis, as well, while there... We can work out
details elsewhere... ;)
Check your e-mail if you haven't already.
The frenzy of cleanup loses a lot of stuff.
Especially with many hands... and not really paying attention to that
which is being boxed up to move, either... :)
As I've discovered, paying attention is not the
primary value at this point.
... They don't even sell this to white people, it's that intense.
H'm.
