My old life…
Well, well, well, what have we here? They say it never rains but it pours and I think they are right. The boxes I had packed up and shipped 6 weeks ago back in Colorado Springs are now arriving thick and fast and if I have got this right, only one is unaccounted for at this point. I include a picture for no other reason than to have a benchmark from which to start with regard to the high quality of majestic scenery and splendour that will be adorning these pages before too long…
So my old life in the US is over for now but a new life begineth. I will be spending some time re-organizing my “stuff” as it had nowhere to go in my folks house right now and I can’t leave it in boxes, well I could but I don’t want to for some reason. Even now looking at the things I decided to hang on to it puzzles me why I did. I can’t get rid of books so those had to stay as did my music equipment, mixer, mic, guitar pedals etc. There are some clothes I should have binned but we all make bad fashion choices don’t we?….no, just me then.
Seeing all these boxes full of stuff makes me happy that I will soon be on the road with only a full backpack to worry about. The older I get the less I like having a bunch of useless stuff surrounding me. A famous musician was once told by his father that all he needed in life was a bed, a chair and a guitar…I couldn’t agree more.
