Pack Anxiety!

Maybe no one else has the same problem but I'm having some Pack Anxiety. I've committed to myself to only bring a small backpack and carry on suitcase. Can I do it? 3 weeks 2 bags. As much as I'd like to be a minimalist; my friends would tell you I'm anything but. The challenge for me is that I'm a complete overpacker.

Options! We need options! How do I chose what to bring? How will I live without all my tech junky toys, e-machines, and Istuff. Which shoes do I bring and which do I leave? How many shirts how many pairs of underwear? And which bathing suit? Too many options.

My only alternatives are to make Reto carry any spillover in his bag, Or give in and bring a second bag or a bigger one. Well wish me luck and I would appreciate any tips. 

Portishead reunited at the Greek Theater Berkeley

Had to share an experience of a lifetime and possibly the last time they will ever tour together. It always amazes me when I see a show in the bay area. There is always so much diversity in styles, race, age; it reminds me how amazing my home is. Barbara and Andy hope you remember this show forever. One of my all time favorite bands and part of my formative years when I grew into the person I am today.

A few weeks back i got to see a show with Reto. One of my favorite performers opened with one of my favorite songs on her new album. Enjoy.

This is a practice post for a blog I'm attempting to write for an upcoming trip. I hope that some of you might be interested in following some of my adventures and journeys. This week we will all get to feast. At our house we will be holding our annual Orphan Thanksgiving. I hope some of you will be joining us. I'll try to keep you updated.
