I am deeply grieved to say that there won’t be a podcast today. We need one more week to collect our thoughts and sanity. Today is all about packing and packing, as yesterday was and tomorrow will be. Fortunately, lots of my friends wrote nice things this week and so here are a few of them.
First up, my mother wrote her monthly post. Hope you’ll join me in trying to persuade her to Write Every Day, or at least once a week.
And here is Cat Hodge being articulate and helpful.
Ans here Josh Thompson also being insightful.
And here is the NYT being completely and totally brilliant about Marie Kondo and the whole question of stuff.
No food this week. Not that there isn’t any food, but my mother is cooking all of it, enlisting the help of one child at a time. Romulus helped with with Spaghetti Bolognese, and Alouicious helped her with Curried Coconut Shrimp, and today Gladys will be helping her with Real Macaroni and Cheese. So you see how much suffering is going on in our lives.
