Saturday is coming quick and every day is passing fast

Friends and loved ones, just a little reminder that on Saturday at 3pm at the Jose P. Rizal Park on Beacon Hill we are having our debut performance of "...And Juggling."

We had a big stuff giveaway yesterday and our apartment was abuzz with, "Are you getting rid of this" and friends and family leaving with armloads of stuff. We got rid of a lot but there is still an entire bookcase full of books and clothes and kitchen stuff and things we hadn't even had a chance to go through as of yesterday. So on Saturday and possibly Sunday evening we will make our giveaway public and hopefully get rid of a lot more before we end up taking everything to the Aids Alliance Thrift Store.

It's amazing that with as much stuff as we are getting rid of, we still have so much we want to save. I suppose it won't feel like so much when we have a house to spread it all around in, but since we're condensing it all to a small storage shed in my parents' driveway and to what we can take on the train with us to Wisconsin, it feels mammoth-sized.

Less two bookshelves, our apartment seems echoey. I don't like it. What we fill a place with is really what makes it a home and that becomes stark when you begin to take all the stuff away. What's left is just walls with holes in them and a more scraped up floor.
