It’s crunch time.

I’ve been a little overwhelmed for the last few months. Not only with the big trip coming up- well, sure, it’s mostly with the big trip coming up, but also with the difficult process of closing up shop here in Brooklyn.

(Thanks, Sister.) Besides, I suppose it fits in with the whole vagabond thing. I like the idea that I can fit everything I own into less than ten boxes.
