Home By Another Way (2011)
“—ANNIE DILLARD There is a rule at our house that goes something like this: you gotta have your stuff.
As I recall, the first time it was articulated was when I was trying to explain hauling a stereo system in the trunk of the car to the first place Sara and I went on vacation. Which only seemed over the top to those who were watching me pack, I suppose, because I was trying to fit it in around and underneath the beach chairs I was packing as well. You never know when you are going to get somewh...ere at the beach and find the beach chairs are uncomfortable.
The whole business would not have been so difficult had we not also been taking a couple of boxes of groceries. You can never be sure the grocery store in the place where you are will have the correct breakfast cereal. Sometimes there are vast differences between the national chain supermarkets in Tennessee and the ones in the next state, though once I am inside, they all look the same to me.
We also were packing a box with incense and candles and compact discs and a pretty tablecloth or two.MoreLess
