So, do you like..... stuff?

I'm sure those of you who are Simspons fans recognize the quote... Ralph articulates this priceless question to Lisa in his awkward attempt to hit on her. In five words, it succinctly embodies the collective fear of every male on the planet... trying to think up some clever thing to say to strike up a conversation with a potential suitor, and failing miserably. Such is the genius of The Simpsons.

Well, as I stare at the pile of stuff that we plan on bringing with us, I could not help but think of that quote...... we sure must like all our stuff, since we're bringing a lot of it.

Over the past few days, we have been packing up in earnest. The impression so far is that we were overly optimistic with how much space we needed in the Subaru when we did our little 'simulation' last week. I think we're going to wait until Thursday then do a panic rationalization.

'Cancel the trip to Alaska, honey; let's go shopping for an Expedition instead! That way we can pack up all our stuff and head out on our trip to ..... D'OH!!!'

I DO like stuff! And Ralph is my favourite Simpsons character. On one episode this week he pointed at Marge, who was crying, and said, "Your eyes need diapers". You are travelling, and I am watching reruns on CBC. That's okay! Sounds like your travels are going well so far, keep us posted.
