But maybe I’m just projecting my own sources of excitement onto her.

What say you, fellow Neo fans?

I always have about 3 clothing sizes, and I still have my work clothes (retired in 2000).

When she ordered a hamburger at a cafe, it came with a fried egg on top. I’m not sure how this relates to clothes and clothes misers, but it needed to be said. When I was living in Africa, one of the first things I noticed upon arrival was the small bits of cloth lying all around. We here have so much paper litter and they appeared to have cloth litter. I would hope we could all badger Neo into disclosing early where she is going. Perhaps some wagering would be in order….I stand by Spain and that’s backed with a crisp 5-spot.

The shirts I wore each day(primarily golf shirts) were thrown away after wearing. Great way to clean a closet, avoid laundering when traveling, and make room in your luggage for new stuff.

I am not a packrat, and have limited closet space, but the longer I live, the more convinced I become that keeping life in all aspects really simple is an important key to happiness, and success.

When it owns me then I’m not free. I can remember traveling through Europe years ago spewing and leaving clothing all across the free world in order to lighten up. I made more trains that way!

Have fun, wherever you’re headed.

That’s my bet….you wouldn’t go to some place predictable like England or Israel or Canada or even France for that matter. I thought China at first but I don’t think you are a real strong Orient kind of person.

But fortunately I’m not one of them. I like to throw things out. Rather, I like it after it’s done. I just keep putting off the process.

Ever see one of those A&E/MSNBC Documentaries about “hoarders”. People who_can’t_throw anything away. No comment, just look up “hoarders”.

It was amazing the pile’s of junk I left out on the curb each week (where did all this stuff come from?). The best satisfaction was the day I put the previous owners blinds, curtains, ect all out to the curb. Sometimes it’s what one needs to do.
