Are they roots or strings?

Moving sucks. Besides the change, the physical act of moving is just pain in the freaking rear! If there is anyone who enjoys the packing, loading, unloading and unpacking cycle, I'd be curious to meet such a person! :) From the time that I had to move a couple of years ao, I adopted the approach of trying to minimize the number of things I have since then it just makes moving a whole lot easier! Actually i should qualify that... minimize the number of heavy and large things! (Can't do without the gimmicks and gadgets!) As an aside though, however much I may try I still seem to keep accumulating books though... and man are they a pain to move! I love the idea that I could pretty much fit all the things I care about into the back of my car and be off! (I do have a big car though :))

When I described this to someone recently, they equated this to having no roots. I disagree, I equate it to having no strings. To being self-contained and in control without having to rely on movers! ;-) Ahh, who knows, one of these days I may give in a get a recliner!
