[Magdalen] My move

[Jay Weigel]

I third that! My move to Richmond was exhausting, although a great relief.
It was the final break with the late ex, but I never did completely
unpack.....which proved to be a great help when I moved again 2 years
later. That's when I did some more major throwing-out. I don't want to do
it again, ever, though I suppose I might have to, someday, if I live as
long as I'm genetically programmed to. Sigh.
