A Life in Five Moves:

In 1967 I boarded a plane to Michigan with one suitcase. In 1971 I returned to New Jersey with all my possessions in a Rambler American. In 1973 I moved to Cliffside Park and it took three trips in my Ford Maverick. In 1976 I moved to Englewood with a 15 foot U-Haul truck. In 1991 I moved to Englewood Cliffs and it took a 36 foot truck, 3 burly men and 7 hours to move me.

Today, like Smaug, I sit atop my hard-fought for possessions wondering how long it will take my son to call the Got Junk number. And then it came to me – kinda like a head-cold:  I will “seed the Cloud” with my clutter, oddments and allot of good writtings and journal entries, some going back to the 1960’s. Yes, I know writtings is misspelled but don’t the 2 t’s look cool!
